IPL 2021, KKR vs RCB Match 31 Highlights: Chakravarthy, Russell, Gill, Iyer shine as Kolkata humble Bangalore : Rashtra News
After Andre Russell and Varun Chakravarthy’s three wicket hauls helped KKR restrict RCB to a meager total of 92 in 19 overs, openers Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer shared a 82 run stand to register a 9-wicket win with 60 balls to spare.
Opening the bowling, architect-turned-mystery spinner Chakravarthy (3/13) did the star turn with three wickets in an excellent four-over spell, while Star all-rounder Russell (3/9 in three overs) also bagged three wickets, including AB de Villiers’ golden duck.
Lockie Ferguson and Prasidh Krishan were also among the wickets as the Kiwi pacer took two wickets and the lanky Indian pacer took the important wicket of Virat Kohli.
Devdutt Padikkal was the highest scorer with 22 runs in a forgettable outing in skipper Kohli’s 200th game for RCB.
In response to RCB’s 92, KKR openers Iyer (41 not out off 27 balls) and Gill (48 off 34 balls) powered their side to the fifth position. Yuzvendra Chahal was the lone wicket taker for RCB.

TOSS: Heads is the call from Kohli. RCB win the coin toss and elect to bat first against KKR.

TEAM NEWS: KKR hand debut to Venkatesh Iyer. More team news will be available at the toss which is minutes away now.
06-55 pm
PITCH REPORT: Nick Knight starts off by saying it’s very hot and hopes it will get better as the game progresses. Hayden joins him and says the wicket is good. The duo add that there is a little bit of grass and it’s even surface – so, it will have a tennis ball bounce, little bit of movement and will assist the pacers for a while. The average score batting first is 165. There is a lot of wind coming from one side of the ground. So, that will be a challenge for both the batters and the bowlers.

He hasn’t a great impact for the past season and a half. Can Dre Russell fire KKR to play-off spot?

Kolkata Knight Riders also are on a bad run having registered just one victory in their last six IPL matches, with that solitary win coming against Punjab Kings earlier this year on April 26th.
06-27 pm
RCB are currently on a five-match losing run in IPL games held in the UAE, their longest such streak there; the last time they won an IPL game in the UAE however was against KKR in October 2020. Kohli’s men will hope to break that losing streak in UAE.
