Rajasthan Royals vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 30th Match - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

RR move to second in the points table. And KKR after a strong start have added a string of losses. Today was a close one but their bowling stocks was deplorable. KKR though would be gutted. They seem to have it covered but one over from Chahal changed the game entirely. The jamboree moves on and we will move on from this carnage as well. This is Kumar Abhisekh Das buzzing off in company of Hariprasad Sadanandan, Pradeep Krishnamurthy and Mukesh.

Yuzvendra Chahal | Man of the Match: I had to take wickets in this match to change the result. I worked on my bowling. I spoke to the coaches and the skipper. I was thinking of a googly but then I didn't want to take a chance. Would have been a happy with a dot ball as well on my hat-trick ball. My googly was coming out well and sent it down to Venkatesh Iyer.

Sanju Samson | Winning captain: It got tensed. The quality of players made it very interesting. Very happy for the win. There are some things that need to used at the right time. You need to be smart enough to slow it down. I respect KKR as a unit. We never thought we were in the game. I think I don't need to talk much about individuals. We are lucky to have great players. Special mention to Ashwin for his delivery to Russell. And McCoy is an interesting guy. He doesn't talk much but seems to be in control over his bowling skills.

Obed McCoy: I am feeling good, this is my first game since last year, I had come under pressure, feeling good, it was just about getting over the nerves and going hard. I normally back my skills, but I haven't played a lot of cricket, so I backed my skills and went about trying to execute the plans, as in a normal scenario. I knew the batter would be looking for power, so I wanted to slow it down and wanted them to target the longer part of the ground. He (Shimron Hetmyer) was just telling me to bowl the way I normally bowl and give my best.

Shreyas Iyer | Losing captain: I think from the start we got, we really were going well according to the run-rate. Finchy was good but once he was out, we slowed down a bit. We lacked a bit over there, but it's a part of the game. Unfortunately we couldn't click. My plan was to bat through the end, the opposite batsman had to take it on from ball one. The matchup Rana had was with Chahal. He did not time that and it happens. He [Buttler] started a bit slow and after that he just went off. The way he manoeuvres the ball, he is a classy batsman. Kudos to the way he batted. If we had got him out early, the scoreboard would've looked very different. Dew didn't play a big role tonight. Amazing wicket to bat on. Unfortunately Brabourne hasn't been great for us. Hopefully we will come back hard in the coming games. There is a lot of pressure and I love pressure. I just wanted to set an example, doesn't matter whatever score they get. If they can get it, I can get it as well. That's how I was thinking.

KKR at Brabourne: 0 wins, 5 losses in IPL games.

23:37 Local Time, 18:07 GMT, 23:37 IST: A 200 plus score being chased down 14 years ago didn't seem that much probable. It seemed far-fetched rather. But IPL and T20 mercenaries?have over the years defined that almost every record in this format is beatable. And KKR almost did that. A target of 218 needed relentless aggression. Finch provided the start, Iyer played the role of the catalyst?and the others played their parts as well but didn't do it that effectively. RR were relieved as the game went away from them for most parts. A near perfect batting display?wasn't enough. Chahal was the difference. His four wickets in an over broke the back of the chase and almost killed it before Umesh Yadav came out with a swinging blade. But McCoy held his nerves and delivered the fatal blows in the final over with 11 still needed.

Obed McCoy to Umesh Yadav, out Bowled!! And it's all over. RR win this by 7 runs. The pendulum has rested in favour of RR. McCoy has finished it for RR. RR fans go crazy. One of the best games of the season. That was a length delivery and Umesh Yadav went for the slog to miss it and the sticks were shattered. Umesh Yadav b Obed McCoy 21(9) [4s-1 6s-2]

Obed McCoy to Umesh Yadav, THATS OUT!! Bowled!!

Obed McCoy to Chakaravarthy, 1 run, gets it away for a single. Umesh has the onus now

Varun Chakaravarthy, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Obed McCoy to Jackson, out Caught by Prasidh!! That's a heart breaker for KKR. Oh Jackson, you could have done better. A little to the left or the right, it would have been a four. That was a slower ball, gripped and Jackson pulled it in a clumsy manner to find the hands of the short fine fielder. Simple take in the end. 9 still needed and the last man will walk in. Jackson c Prasidh b Obed McCoy 8(8)

Obed McCoy to Jackson, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Obed McCoy to Jackson, 2 runs, heaved away and the hearts stopped beating for a few of the fans but it landed safe. They get a brace as the ball landed in the gap

Obed McCoy [3.0-0-38-0] is back into the attack

Prasidh to Umesh Yadav, no run, was that a wide? Was close for sure. Fuller one, angled across and very close to those tram lines outside off. Yadav wanted a wide but the ump didn't think so. 11 to win in the last over and only two wickets in hand

Prasidh to Jackson, 1 run, full toss angled across from round the wicket and Jackson slaps one to deep cover for a single. Was well hit but straight to the fielder

Prasidh to Umesh Yadav, 1 run, and Umesh Yadav chases a wide one to get it past point but the deep cover fielder is very fine. Goes straight to him for a single. 12 needed now off 8 balls

Prasidh to Umesh Yadav, wide, slants that too wide outside off, Umesh Yadav lets it go for him to earn a wide

Sidd: That's really sensible batting from Umesh. Two sixes followed by spectacular placement! And then a single!

Vijay: Yuzi is proving a point here for being dropped in WCT20 last year. Has been amazing even in death overs this season.

Prasidh to Jackson, 1 run, fuller length delivery but well wide outside off, Jackson slices that down to deep point for a single
