On a track which assisted spin, it was the spin twin of Kolkata Knight Riders who turned the match in their favor. Although Sunil Narine was ill and didn't play, his replacement Moeen Ali did an exquisite job. Moeen Ali and Varun Chakravarthy together stifled the Rajasthan Royals batters and got wickets at regular intervals. The England player got two, while the Indian star picked up a brace as well. The duo conceded only 40 runs with a combined four wickets in their eight overs. It was their scintillating performance which put a break in the Rajasthan Royals' momentum, who were scoring at nine runs per over at the end of the power play.
Quinton de Kock was the MVP of the match as the South African star scored an unbeaten 97 off 61 deliveries to steer KKR to a victory. The Proteas player hit 8 fours and 6 sixes and also hit the winning runs.
Vaibhav Arora was the Unsung Hero of the match. The KKR pacer took the crucial wicket of Sanju Samson, and that was a massive blow for them. He was also accurate in the powerplay, and that made the spinners' job easier after the field restrictions.
