He finished unbeaten on 53 off 28 while Gill fell on 84 off 49. Jos Buttler fell on 57 off 29. Sunil Narine was the star once again for KKR, finishing with figures of 2/29 while Saurabh Dubey and Cameron Green got a wicket each.
Cameron Green and Angkrish Raghuvanshi’s fifties helped KKR compile a score of 247 for the loss of two wickets in 20 overs, amid a slew of dropped catches from the Gujarat Titans. Finn Allen was dropped by Mohammed Siraj when was on 33 off 17 balls and has since gone on to blaze past 50 in just 21. Raghuvanshi at the other end rotated strike efficiently to keep the momentum going for KKR.
