Finn Allen and Sunil Narine were the top performers for KKR in the match. Allen smashed a 35-ball 93 to set Kolkata Knight Riders on its way to a strong total, before Narine bowled a frugal spell of two for 29 to turn the game in KKR\u2019s favour in the chase.<\/p>\n
For GT, captain Shubman Gill and B. Sai Sudharsan were the top performers with their breezy half-centuries.<\/p>\n
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS<\/h4>\n
Ajinkya Rahane: 1.5 \u2014 <\/b>Struggled to get off to a quick start and was eventually castled by Mohammad Siraj (14 off 14 balls; one four).<\/p>\n
Finn Allen: 9.5 \u2014 <\/b>The opening batter only focused on six hitting during his knock. He eventually fell seven runs short of his century (93 off 35 balls; 4 fours, 10 sixes).<\/p>\n
Angkrish Raghuvanshi: 6 \u2014 <\/b>The youngster began playing a second fiddle to Allen before taking over the hitting duties to finish unbeaten on 82 off 44 balls (4 fours, 7 sixes).<\/p>\n
Cameron Green: 6 \u2014 <\/b>The Australia all-rounder gave terrific support from the other end to finish 52 not out off just 28 balls (3 fours, 4 sixes).<\/p>\n
Sunil Narine: 7.5 \u2014<\/b> The veteran spinner put on brilliant performance to bowl an economic spell while also picking crucial wickets of Nishant Sindhu and Shubman Gill (2\/29 in 4 overs).<\/p>\n
Anukul Roy: 2.5 \u2014 <\/b>He bowled just one over and conceded 17 runs in it (0\/17 in 1 over).<\/p>\n
Varun Chakaravarthy: 2 \u2014 <\/b>The mystery spinner didn\u2019t get much purchase off the surface and finished with an expensive outing (0\/47 in 4 overs).<\/p>\n
Saurabh Dubey: 5.5 \u2014 <\/b>The Vidarbha pacer bowled an economical spell, including a five-run penultimate over to close game in favour of his team (1\/23 in 2.4 overs).<\/p>\n

Jos Buttler: 4.5 \u2014 <\/b>The Englishman\u2019s innings never went into the attacking mode. Although he managed 57 off 35 (5 fours, 2 sixes), Buttler was hardly close to finish the game.<\/p>\n
