Shardul Thakur powers KKR to massive win over RCB

After losing to Punjab Kings by 7 runs in a rain-interrupted game, KKR entered the winning path by thrashing RCB and jumped to the third position in the points table. Having been asked to bat first, KKR were once at 89/5 as their top-order batters, except Rahmanullah Gurbaz (57 off 44), could not find resistance at the crease.

Their power hitter Andre Russel also failed for a golden duck, and just when it appeared that the hosts would end their innings with a below-par total, all-rounder Shardul Thakur played a brilliant innings to lead his team to a massive 204 score. The right-hander smashed 68 runs off 29 balls with 9 fours and 3 sixes. Rinku Singh who scored 46 runs off 33 balls also contributed well.

In reply, RCB got off to a decent start as Kohli and captain Faf du Plessis kept the run rate under control. However, the former Bangalore skipper was dismissed by mystery spinner Sunil Narine in the fifth over and the current skipper also returned to the pavilion in the very next over. After that, none of the batters could play a responsible innings, and they were bowled out for 123 in 17.4 overs.
