GT clearly had a better side of all three aspects of the game, and now this season has become the first team to hit 12 points. KKR, on the other hand, remain in seventh place, lost five of his eight matches. They are now four points away from the playoffs, and requires a string of victory to qualify.

The total, which was well calculated and strategic by GT, proved to be more than enough as GT bowlers limited to 89 to 8 to 8 for figures of Rashid Khan and Prasad Krishna’s 2/25.

Chasing 112 in the last match, it was another low for the defending champion after his horror show of 95 as his batting was out of deep and died due to his third defeat in four matches at home, and in eight matches in fifth position.

For GT, this victory marked his sixth win in eight matches, strengthened his position with 12 points at the top of the IPL standing, two clear of Delhi capitals.

In-form Seemar Seemar Famous also showed his magic in the back-end as they rejected Ramandip Singh (1) and Moen Ali (0) in gradual balls, as it was all, but at 7 in 7.3 overs for KKR.

KKR’s innings stabilized during the mid -over, Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer struggled to expedite the GT spinners in one phase, where they failed to achieve a limit for 36 balls.

In three overs, Sai Kishore’s Kifour 1/19 tightened the screw, leading to Washington Sundar bowling (1/36 in three overs) and Iyer’s departure for Iyer’s departure for 14 from 19 balls. The final 45 balls require 108 runs, KKR’s hopes rest on Russell and Rinku Singh. However, the growing required run -rate proved to be unsafe against GT’s disciplined attack.

Earlier, selecting the bowl, KKR bowlers faced an initial attack as Gill (55 runs 90) and reformson (53 out of 38) made a 114 -run stand.

Refillment’s consistent form earned him an orange cap, which became the first player in this season to cross 400 runs this season.
