18.5 Kulwant Khejroliya to Vinay Kumar

4

FOUR! Kulwant Khejroliya to Vinay Kumar. Short, down leg side backing away pulling, well timed in the air under control past long on for 4 runs. Flat-batted back past mid on. Kolkata take the victory after being in control for most of the chase. They got off to a good start through Sunil Narine (50 from 19) and Dinesh Karthik played a captain's knock to see them home with 35 not out. RCB must have thought they had enough runs on the board but today their bowling wasn't up to scratch. A good win for KKR and they will be looking to make Eden Gardens a fortress.
