Abu Dhabi, September 20

An authoritative Kolkata Knight Riders bossed Royal Challengers Bangalore from the beginning to the end to record a convincing nine-wicket win in their Indian Premier League match here today.

Bit of a wake-up call, might as well have this at the start of the second leg so that we know what we should work on

Showing serious intent after their mediocre outing in the first phase of the league earlier this year, KKR bundled out Royal Challengers Bangalore for a paltry 92.

Then, the opening duo of Shubman Gill and debutant Venkatesh Iyer played some breathtaking shots and made light work of the chase, completing the formality with as many as 10 overs to spare.

Gill got out for a 48 off 34 deliveries while Iyer was looking good on a 27-ball 41 not out when the winning run was hit. — PTI

Brief scores: Royal Challengers Bangalore: 92 all out in 19 overs (Devdutt Padikkal 22; Andre Russell 3/9, Varun Chakravarthy 3/13, Lockie Ferguson 2/24); Kolkata Knight Riders: 94/1 in 10 overs (Shubman Gill 48, Venkatesh Iyer 41 not out).

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind.
