Four runs. FOUR! Eshan Malinga to Rinku Singh. Off cutter back of a length, wide down leg side backing away pulling, well timed in the air under control past deep mid wicket for 4 runs. KKR get it done comfortably and win by seven wickets. Ajinkya Rahane set the base with 43, Finn Allen chipped in with quick runs, and Angkrish Raghuvanshi's 59 kept the chase steady. Rinku Singh finished it off quickly with a short burst, with Cameron Green alongside him. For the opposition, Pat Cummins and Shivang Kumar picked up a wicket each but couldn't slow things down. Eshan Malinga was expensive, and the bowlers never really built pressure. Varun Chakaravarthy is the Player of the Match.
