Rajasthan Royals v Kolkata Knight Riders, Ahmedabad

Fazal creates momentum: Fazal hit three fours in the third over bowled by Ashok Dinda to get Rajasthan off to a flier. Fazal slapped down the ground, pulled with disdain and swung a length delivery from well outside off to square-leg boundary to set the tone for the innings.

Abhishek Jhunjhunwala plays a cool hand: Fazal and Naman Ojha gave a good start but with Yusuf Pathan perishing to the short delivery, it seemed Rajasthan might wobble but Jhunjhunwala ensured the runs kept coming with a responsible knock. On a slow turner, he negated the threat of Murali Karthik by collecting a few boundaries with late cuts to throw the spinner off rhythm

Double strike by Yusuf Pathan: Yusuf opened the bowling and struck almost immediately to remove Manoj Tiwary with a quick arm-ball. He later returned to remove the well-set Brad Hodge to derail the chase.
