RR vs KKR Highlights
Obed McCoy bowled a brilliant last over to take two wickets and conceded only three runs to defend 11 off it and win the game by 7 runs for Rajasthan Royals against Kolkata Knight Riders.
But the match was set up by Yuzvendra Chahal who picked four wickets in an over including a hat-trick and reduced the Knight Riders from 178-4 to 180-8. A few big hits from Umesh Yadav in the 18th over, got KKR close as they needed just 18 of the last two and then eventually 11 off the last over.
Kolkata Knight Riders got the chase to a flyer courtesy of brilliant batting by Aaron Finch and Shreyas Iyer both of whom scored 58 and 28 respectively to take KKR to 178-4 at the end of the 16th over, needing just 40 of the last four before Chahal picked both Iyers, Shreyas and Venbkatesh alongside Shivam Mavi and Pat Cummins in one over to break the Knight Riders' back.
Earlier in the evening, Jos Buttler scored his second century of the season and was helped by a great finish from Shimron Hetmyer to take the Royals to 217-5 at the end of their 20 overs.
RR vs KKR Player of the Match: Yuzvendra Chahal
In a very tight selection, Yuzvendra Chahal was adjudged Player of the Match ahead of his teammate Jos Buttler, who even scored a hundred. But Chahal's magical over in which he got four wickets which included that of the settled and raging Shreyas Iyer as well, was just enough to weigh in his favour. In total, he finished with a five-wicket haul, his first-ever fifer, and the best IPL figures in his career. He finished with figures of 5-40 from his four overs
RR vs KKR: Changes in the Playing 11
As was expected Kolkata Knight Riders brought back Shivam Mavi in place of Aman Khan while the rest of the Playing 11 remained the same.
However, it was the Rajasthan Royals that surprised the most with the three changes that they made to their Playing 11. Kuldeep Sen, who won them the game against Lucknow Super Giants, was out and Obed McCoy, the left-arm pacer from West Indies replaced him.
Rassie van der Dussesn was also out after only two failures and Karun Nair came in his place while Trent Boult was fit and replaced compatriot Jimmy Neesham in the Playing 11
RR Predicted Playing 11
Jos Buttler, Devdutt Padikkal, Sanju Samson (c & wk), Karun Nair, Shimron Hetmyer, Ravichandran Ashwin, Riyan Parag, Trent Boult, Prasidh Krishna, Yuzvendra Chahal, Obed McCoy
KKR Predicted Playing 11
Aaron Finch, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sheldon Jackson (wk), Pat Cummins, Sunil Narine, Shivam Mavi, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy

RR vs KKR Live Updates: McCoy wins it for Rajasthan Royals
Obed McCoy is into the attack
Ball 1 Hit hard and into the big leg side and two runs were taken by Jackson as Hetmyer fields the ball
Ball 2 Wicket!! Sheldon Jackson goes for the winner here but is beaten by pace as the ball comes to him, by the time he was through with the shot and an inside edge went straight to Prasidh at short fine lag and KKR are now nine down and need 9 off four balls.
Ball 3 Single to the leg side as it was a slower yorker and Umesh will now have the batting to do
Ball 4 Wicket!! 8 needed off three balls and a slower ball from Obed McCoy has done the trick. One shot too many from Umesh as the ball hits his timber after he went for a huge hit. Rajasthan Royals win this by 7 runs and have most importantly found a death bowler in McCoy for the season
Kolkata Knight Riders Live Score 210-10 after 19.4 overs

Ball 1 Bam!! Umesh goes hard and hits the helmet of Sheldon Jackson, here. Luckly no harm was done. Now 17 off 11 needed
Ball 2 Two runs have been taken by Jackson here and the game is going in favor of Kolkata here. A wicket is needed badly
Ball 3 15 off just 10 needed and Jackson takes a single to deep backward point where Hetmyer is stationed.
Ball 4 WIDE
Ball 4 Single again and now the lines are blurring and a wicket is needed here badly
Ball 5 Single again and that would now mean 11 from 7
Ball 6 This has to go for a boundary for KKR, but it is a dot ball and that would mean 11 from the last 6

Ball 3 Pulled away and two runs to deep square leg
Ball 4 Six!! How can you bowl full to Yadav, this is pathetic bowling from Boult here. Purely Pathetic
Ball 5 Four!! Punched off the back foot for four runs. Umesh could be the show stealer here
Ball 6 Finally the short ball on the last ball. Come on. That should have been the length all over. Now just 18 needed off two overs. Easy peasy for KKR
