11:39 PM

Buttler wins the game single-handedly for his team

 

Over Summary- 6 0 0 0 2 1; RR Score 224-8 after 20 overs

Avesh Khan (0), Jos Buttler (107); Varun Chakaravarthy 4-0-36-2

 

Four fielders must be inside the circle and the last over would have to be bowled by the spinner Varun Chakaravarthy. He bowls short into the wicket and gets hit for a six here. Just three more are needed as Buttler brings up his hundred. 

 

11:33 PM

9 needed from 6 to win, Buttler nearing hundred

 

Over Summary- 6 0 4 6 2 1; RR Score 215-8 after 19 overs

Avesh Khan (0), Jos Buttler (98); Harshit Rana 4-0-45-2

 

Six off the first ball once again as Buttler connects here. A low full toss on the third ball from Harshit and he hits one straight down the ground for a four. Harshit should be trying for the outside off wide yorker, but he is bowling into the body for Buttler and the English skipper is just hitting them to the boundaries.  

 

11:28 PM

Salt gives away five extras. 28 needed off 12 to win

 

Over Summary- 6 Wd 0 W1 0 4 Wd5 1; RR Score 196-8 after 18 overs

Avesh Khan (0), Jos Buttler (79); Mitchell Starc 4-0-50-0

 

A six off the first ball, a wicket off the third and because Buttler was looking to play a reversed scoop, it is not called a wide. Now Rajasthan are eight down and Buttler gets one four away off Starc here. 

 

Phil Salt to the rescue of his English captain here? He has given five wides here as he was unable to catch the ball behind the wicket. Buttler is batting on 79 off 48 balls here and 

 

11:20 PM

Narine gets Powell

 

Over Summary- 4 6 6 0 W 0; RR Score 178-7 after 17 overs

Trent Boult (0), Jos Buttler (67); Sunil Narine 4-0-30-2

 

What is Riovman Powell doing here? Before this game, he had a strike rate of 52 against Narine and he hit Narine for 16 runs in the first three balls of this over here. The fifty partnership between him and Buttler comes up as well. 

 

Oh, we have a review for LBW here as the umpire gave it out straight away after the ball hit Powell's pads. Narine is waiting for the result by lying down on the ground and he has done the best job even while not being his fittest.  

 

Trent Boult has walked out to bat to survive one ball or to use it as a free hit. Now the Royals need 46 off 19 to win. Angkrish Raghuvanshi drops Boult but no single is taken. 46 needed off the last three overs.  

 

11:15 PM

Another big over

 

Over Summary- 6 1 1 1 6 2; RR Score 162-6 after 16 overs

Rovman Powell (10), Jos Buttler (67); Andre Russell 1-0-17-0

 

Back-to-back overs with 17 runs each and now Royals are thinking that they have a match to win here as Powell is looking to let loose here. 

 

11:13 PM

Big over for the Royals

 

Over Summary- 0 4 4 Wd 4 0 4; RR Score 145-6 after 15 overs

Rovman Powell (2), Jos Buttler (58); Varun Chakaravarthy 3-0-27-2

 

This is the kind of over that was required for the Royals as Buttler has smashed his fifty here and if he gets going, it will be trouble for Kolkata.

 

11:07 PM

Narine looks in discomfort

 

Over Summary- 1 1 0 1 0 0; RR Score 128-6 after 14 overs

Rovman Powell (2), Jos Buttler (42); Sunil Narine 3-0-14-1

 

Sunil Narine is looking in some sort of discomfort here as he walks back to the dressing room after completing his over in which he gave way to only three runs. 

 

11:00 PM

Double wicket over for Chakaravarthy

 

Over Summary- W W 1 2 1 0; RR Score 125-6 after 13 overs

Rovman Powell (1), Jos Buttler (40); Varun Chakaravarthy 2-0-10-2

 

This has been a double-wicket over for Varun Chakaravarthy here as he has removed Ashwin and Shimron Hetmyer in the same over. 

 

10:58 PM

Harshit Rana back into the attack

 

Over Summary- 1 1 1 0 1 1; RR Score 115-4 after 12 overs

R Ashwin (8), Jos Buttler (36); Harshit Rana 3-0-25-2

10:54 PM

Varun Chakaravarthy into the attack

10:36 PM

Narine strikes, gets Jurel

 

Over Summary- 1 1 0 W Wd 0 0; RR Score 101-4 after 9 overs

R Ashwin (0), Jos Buttler (25); Sunil Narine 2-0-11-1

 

Nr8in has struck in his second o0ver as he gets the wicket of Dhruv Jurel who has been trapped in front. It was given not-out by the umpire, but KKR reviewed it and got it right as well.

Dhruv Jurel (1), Jos Buttler (24); Harshit Rana 2-0-20-2

 

Riyan Parag, who was going great guns, has thrown his wicket away at a crucial juncture. Trying to maximise the over, the right-hander mistimed his pull and got out as Russell held on to a skier.

Over Summary- 4 1 N 6 1 6 4; RR Score 76-2 after 6 overs

Riyan Parag (5), Jos Buttler (13); Harshit Rana 1-0-7-1
