Eoin Morgan, the captain of Kolkata Knight Riders, won the toss and chose to bat first. When Kolkata came to bat, what happened was shocking. KKR batsmen were struggling against RCB bowlers. They started losing wickets too early and none of their batsmen, barring Morgan, could manage to spend some time on the crease. KKR‘s openers Shubman Gill and Rahul Tripathi scored just one run each before returning to the pavilion. Nitish Rana got out without even opening his account.
