In response, KKR had a slow start as Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Marco Jansen
rattled their batting with the new ball as KKR slipped to 20/3 inside the
powerplay.
Then, skipper Nitish Rana staged a stunning counterattack, hitting Umran
Malik for four boundaries and two maximums and collecting 28 runs off the
sixth over, to take the powerplay score to 62/3.
Rana along with N Jagadeesan continued with the onslaught as the duo
established a 62-run partnership off just 29 deliveries for the fourth
wicket. But Mayank Markande broke the deadly partnership in the 9th over as
he got Jagadeesan (36 off 21).
