An appeal for LBW but is turned down. There was a big chance for a run-out as well, but RR spill that chance.

The UltraEdge show no spike, and the Ball Tracking shows the impact to be outside off.

Strategic Break! Kolkata Knight Riders have begun their chase on a solid note, with Quinton de Kock looking in fine touch, already sending warning signals to Rajasthan Royals. With a deep batting lineup still in the hut, KKR will look to build a steady partnership, chip away at the target, and then accelerate when the moment is right. While RR’s bowlers have been disciplined, they haven’t posed enough tough questions yet. If they are to turn the tide, they need wickets, and they need them fast! The pressure is mounting, but for now, KKR’s batters look calm, composed, and in control. Maheesh Theekshana (2-0-14-0) comes back into the attack now.

Strategic Break! The result is pretty much inevitable here unless a miracle happens and saves the Rajasthan Royals. Quinton de Kock has taken this game out of the hands of the hosts with his fine knock, and he will be hoping to stay till the end and finish things off. RR bowling once again have missed that edge, and they will need to fix a few things if they want to be competitive in this season. Also, the hosts have asked for a change of ball here, and the umpires agree with them.

Right then, that is it from this one-sided affair where Kolkata Knight Riders brushed aside Rajasthan Royals. Now, we move our focus to the clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Lucknow Super Giants at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad where we can once again expect runs galore. That will begin on 27th March, Thursday at 7.30 pm IST (2 pm GMT), but as you know, you can join us early for all the build-up to the same. Until then, cheers and goodbye!

WIDE! Hits the deck hard does Jofra and on back of a length, but down the leg side, swinging back in, Moeen Ali gets into a tangle as he looks to help on its way but misses. Called a wide. There is a mild appeal for caught behind by Archer but is turned down by the umpire.
