Whereas, Kolkata Knight Riders started well against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) but struggled in the middle, ending with a score of 174-8.
Their new captain, Ajinkya Rahane, played well, scoring 56 runs off 31 balls, but it wasn’t enough to win as RCB easily got the runs they needed. KKR has to keep going strong during their game.
