Rashid is the best T20 spinner - Tendulkar

The 19-year old hit an unbeaten 34 off 10 balls, claimed three wickets, effected a run-out and took two catches in the last over in a knockout bout

A Royal lesson in how not to T20

Not bowling out one of the team's best spinners, failing to chase 169 after being 87 for 1 in 10 overs, making mistakes with the batting order - it was not a good night for Ajinkya Rahane's team

Talking Points - What was Ajinkya Rahane thinking?

Trying to understand Rajasthan Royals' baffling approach to the chase, and how they lost even though they had the best of the conditions

Why Russell couldn't resist the temptation to pull

Jofra Archer's pace and Eden Gardens' evening zip forced Russell to shelve his favourite stroke early on. Then a free hit arrived and there was no looking back

KKR to face Sunrisers for spot in the final

Chasing 170, Rajasthan Royals fell behind the asking rate in the middle overs and never recovered
