IPL 2022, KKR vs RR Live Cricket Score Streaming Online Today: Kolkata Knight Riders hope to end top-order woes, losing streak against Rajasthan Royals. (File)
Feeling good in the purple jersey. I was bowling well in the nets, so the captain gave me the ball in the powerplay. In the powerplay I field inside the ring, after that powerplay I field in the deep. The ball is skidding on nicely for the pacers. No dew so far, let's see if we get some in the second innings.
Last over now and Hetmyer has asked for a change of gloves. Ashwin is on strike as Russell dances near the bounadry ropes while this is going on. Ashwin takes a single and Hetmyer is back on strike. A four in the second ball. Not a bad ball by Mavi but Hetmyer is on song this year. Great deliveries by Mavi to get back to back dots. Hetmyer hits one high but it's just safe and it's an umpire referral for run out. Hetmyer is safely in. Last ball now. That's a wide and 150 comes up for Rajasthan. RR end at 152/5 after 20 overs.
The penultimate over of the innings underway now as Hetmyer pulls Southee for a six in the very first ball. Next ball, same result. Another six by Hetmyer. This time clears the long on boundary. Just brutish force. 2 runs off the next 2 balls and Hetmyer is back on strike again. Can he finish this one with a flourish? 2 runs again. A wide in the last ball. Will have to bowl this one again. RR 142/5 after 19 overs
GONE!!! Oh ho ho ho. Samson hits this one. Everyone thought that was sailing over the boundary but it got te elevation but not the distance!!! Rinku Singh makes no mistake as the skipper departs off Mavi. RR 115/5 after 17.1 overs.
17th over now as we return from time out and Southee strikes straightaway as the onfield umpire gives Samson out for LBW. RR review. Ultraedge shows wickets missing and Samson survives. 2 dots to follow and the next ball is hit for a monster by Parag. Next ball, he is gone!!! Parag went for a big one and he's caught by Roy. RR 115/4 after 17 overs
Narine in to bowl the first in the slog overs. 1 run off the first two balls. Next ball also yields a single. Rajasthan batters are having a bit of difficulty hitting him out of the park. 2 dots to end. What an over by Narine. RR 108/3 after 16 overs as we go for a timeout
Umesh in to bowl the last over of his spell. Starts with 3 back to back dots before finally yielding 1 run off the fourth ball. Brilliant bowling. Ends this over with a 4. Just 5 from it. RR 15/3 after 15 overs.
That's Sanju Sanson's 50 in 38 balls. Great batting. Came in early and has really stabilised the innings. Can he take Rajasthan to anything over 160 runs? A six by Parag to end this over as 100 comes up for Rajasthan. RR 100/3 after 14 overs.
OUT!!!! Karuin Nair opens up his hands and tries to hit a big one but could not clear Rinku Singh near the boundary. Anukul Roy gets a wicket as Nair has to depart. RR 90/3 after 13.1 overs
That's a four by Samson to start the 13th over. Samson is just 2 runs away from his 50. Might get it in this over only. A single to take him to 49 runs. Nair gets hold of the next ball and hits a four. Samson still waits for that 50. RR 90/2 after 13 overs
FOUR! That is an outstanding shot! Brilliant! Flatter and just outside off, not a lot of width on offer. Samson waits and then plays it behind point for a boundary. RR: 49/1 after 7 overs
Anukul Roy is taken to the cleaners and it is the trademark shot from Sanju Samson! Lofts it nonchalantly over the cover fence for a biggie. The last ball spoils the over but still, it is a good Powerplay for Kolkata. RR: 38/1 after 6 overs
Umesh Yadav to Sanju Samson, FOUR! Just over! A length ball, outside off. Samson tries to go over mid off and gets enough elevation for the ball to travel over the leaping mid off fielder. A boundary. RR: 27/1 after 5 overs
FOUR! Finally a boundary for Rajasthan and Samson is off the mark! Anukul Roy chases and dives but to no avail. RR:12/1 after 4 overs
CAUGHT AND BOWLED! Umesh Yadav removes Devdutt Padikkal early. Yadav continues to be impressive this season. Sanju Samson is in at number 3. RR: 7/1 after 3 overs
That was not intended to meet the boundary but that's how good Buttler is this season. Full ball, on-off. Buttler looks to push on the offside but mistimes it past mid on. Tim Southee from mid off chases it back and puts in a dive but fails to keep it away from the fence.
We are ready for play! The two umpires are out in the middle and they are followed by the players of Kolkata. Rajasthan openers Jos Buttler and Devdutt Padikkal out in the middle. Umesh Yadav has the new ball in hand and is raring to go. Let's play...
Nothing different today, looking forward to winning some tosses going forward. In this format the margin for error is very small. We have put in a great standard. Nothing much to improve on. We have Karun Nair coming in for Mitchell in this game. We are making a few changes looking at the conditions, and we feel Karun Nair will be a better option against tonight's opponents.
We will bowl first, seems like a used wicket. Considering the dew factor it helps us in the second innings. We have lost many close games. The chat is always been positive cricket. We need to play fearless cricket. We have two changes. Roy comes in for Venky and Mavi comes in. It's important to have the right combination. We are trying to give as many matches as possible to the players, but it's also important to get the right combinations.
