After Sahil Parakh made 24, Rahul and Axar accelerated further, particularly in the 11th over from Kartik Tyagi that yielded 20 runs.

Rahane\u2019s 63 off 39 balls, studded with four boundaries and four sixes, remained the lone significant contribution.<\/p>\n<p>The decisive blow came in the 14th over when Kuldeep Yadav spun a web around the KKR middle order with his variations and accuracy. The left-arm wrist-spinner dismissed Rahane before removing Rinku Singh off the very next ball. Rinku\u2019s wicket owed much to a superb catch by Tristan Stubbs at long-off.<\/p>\n<p>Kuldeep nearly claimed his maiden IPL hat-trick when KKR wicket keeper Tejasvi Dahiya edged the hat-trick ball, only for Porel to spill the chance behind the stumps. Dahiya, however, failed to capitalise on the reprieve and was dismissed by Axar in the following over as KKR\u2019s innings ended without further resistance in the next five overs.
