Both teams shared a point each. KKR moved to 19 points and extended their lead at the top of the points table to 3 points when compared to 2nd placed Rajasthan Royals.
On the other hand, GT have 11 points from 13 outings and can at max reach 13 points if they win their last league game. Sadly, that won't be enough for them to even have any hope of finishing in the top 4.
Gujarat had to win both of their remaining fixtures but constant rain in Ahmedabad didn't even let the toss happen.
KKR will now certainly finish in the top 2 and will get two shots at making it to IPL 2024 final. Interestingly, The last two times they finished in the top two, they won the IPL as well.

<h2>The most pleasing performance for KKR came from Mitchell Starc, who finally struck form and picked up 4 wickets</h2>

12 long years that the Kolkata Knight Riders hadn't tasted a single victory at the Wankhede Stadium but KKR finally broke that hoodoo on Friday as they thrashed MI by 24 runs.
Hardik Pandya's decision to bowl first was the right call and the bowlers responded well. KKR's top order fell like a pack of cards as they were reduced to 57/5.
Kolkata brought in Manish Pandey as the impact player and he proved to be a willing ally to Venkatesh Iyer. The pair rescued KKR from a muddle and helped their side finish at 169 with an 83-run stand. Iyer top-scored with a gritty 70.
Mumbai had a disastrous start to their run-chase as Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy spun their web of destruction and rocked the hosts with 2 wickets each.
Suryakumar Yadav tried to steady the ship with a fiery 56 but Andre Russell brought KKR back into the contest with a couple of wickets.
But the most pleasing performance for KKR came from Mitchell Starc, who finally struck form and picked up 4 wickets. As a result, Mumbai was bowled out for just 145 as their IPL 2024 campaign is now all but over.
While MI have now lost 4 in a row, KKR are knocking on the playoffs door with 14 points from 10 games.

12 years after that incident and a few hours before another MI vs KKR match at the Wankhede, former KKR director Joy Bhattacharjya explained what exactly happened that night.

Remember Shah Rukh Khan vs Wankhede security personnel from 2012? Ex-KKR director reveals what happened | IPL 2024, MI vs KKR

Remember Shah Rukh Khan vs Wankhede security personnel from 2012? Ex-KKR director reveals what happened

<h2>12 years after that incident and a few hours before another MI vs KKR match at the Wankhede, former KKR director Joy Bhattacharjya explained what exactly happened that night.</h2>

It's been 12 years to the infamous Wankhede incident involving Shah Rukh Khan and the stadium security personnel that not just left a bad taste in the mouth but also left SRK with a ban of 5 years.
The Kolkata Knight Riders defended 140 against the Mumbai Indians, the only time in the IPL KKR beat MI at Wankhede. It hasn't been repeated since then.
But the night didn't end with just the result. Bollywood actor and KKR co-owner Shah Rukh Khan was involved in an ugly spat with the Mumbai Cricket Association security staff after the match and was later on banned for five years from MCA premises. The ban, however, was lifted three years later.
MCA alleged that Shah Rukh tried to force his way to the grounds after the match, and abused and manhandled guards after he was stopped. However, SRK explained that is children were "physically manhandled in the name of security" by guards, which had angered him.
What happened between Shah Rukh Khan and the Wankhede security personnel in 2012?
12 years after that incident and a few hours before another MI vs KKR match at the Wankhede, former KKR director Joy Bhattacharjya explained what exactly happened that night.
"The last time KKR beat MI at the Wankhede, I was still a part of that dugout. It's been a while, but today might just be the day!" Bhattacharjya wrote on Twitter.
A user replied, "No Joy KKR has been cursed from the day SRK aboused the Wankhede security guard."
To which Bhattacharjya gave a strong reply and wrote, "KKR won two championships after that incident. And he did not abuse, I was there. And the next time, stay calm when someone catcalls your young daughter."

KKR returned to winning ways and have now won 5 of their 7 games. On the other hand, RCB's campaign hangs by a thread as their losing streak extended to 6 games.

IPL 2024, KKR vs RCB: Kolkata avoid a scare, Bengaluru lose a last-ball thriller by 1 run

KKR returned to winning ways and have now won 5 of their 7 games. On the other hand, RCB's campaign hangs by a thread as their losing streak extended to 6 games.

The Kolkata Knight Riders avoided a scare on Sunday as they edged out the Royal Challengers Bengaluru by just 1 run in a last-ball thriller.
With that, KKR returned to winning ways and have now won 5 of their 7 games. On the other hand, RCB's campaign hangs by a thread as their losing streak extended to 6 games.
Faf du Plessis decision to put KKR into bat was the right call but the Knights still ended with a healthy score 222/6.
Opener Phil Salt's aggressive 48 and skipper Shreyas Iyer's composed fifty set the tone for the Knights. Interestingly, it was the 29th time that RCB conceded a total over 200, which is the most by a side in T20 cricket.
Chasing which, RCB lost Virat Kohli and Faf with just 35 runs on the board. However, a 102-run partnership off just 48 balls between Rajat Patidar and Will Jacks put their side in a winning position.
But then the visitors lost their way and threw away 4 wickets for just 18 runs to be reduced to 155/6.
Bengaluru was still in the hunt but once Dinesh Karthik got out of the last ball of the penultimate over, it seemed that the game was done.
21 runs were needed off the last over but Karn Sharma surprised Starc with 3 sixes off the first 4 balls. Suddenly RCB needed just 3 of the final 2 balls but the home side held their nerve and managed to bowl out Bengaluru for 221.
The Royal Challengers have managed to chase down a total of 200 just once in their history and have lost 17 such targets. KKR on the other hand have now won 6 of their last 7 games against RCB.

Rajasthan required 96 in the last 6 overs and that's when Buttler turned the game on its head with his 7th hundred in the IPL.

IPL 2024, KKR vs RR: Jos Buttler steals Kolkata's thunder, Royals win top-of-the-table clash

Jos Buttler stole KKR's thunder with an unbeaten 107 to power the Rajasthan Royals to a thrilling win off the last ball of the match. Here's how RR pulled off the highest-successful run chase in IPL history.

Rajasthan required 96 in the last 6 overs and that's when Buttler turned the game on its head with his 7th hundred in the IPL.

Jos Buttler might have been limping at the end of the match but it was the Kolkata Knight Riders who felt the pain, as the superman from England stole KKR's thunder with an unbeaten 107 to power the Rajasthan Royals to a thrilling win off the last ball of the match.
Put into bat, Sunil Narine ran riot at the Eden Gardens and powered KKR to 223/6 on the back of his maiden IPL hundred.
Chasing which Rajasthan lost Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson early and then lost wickets at regular intervals to be reduced to 121/6.
Rajasthan required 96 in the last 6 overs and that's when Buttler turned the game on its head with his 7th hundred in the IPL. He is now 2nd on the list of most tons in the history of the cash-rich league behind Virat Kohli, who has 8.
In the end, the Royals won the top-of-the-table clash and successfully chased down the highest-ever total in IPL history.
While Rajasthan has now won 6 of their 7 games so far, KKR was handed just their 2nd loss in 6 outings.

It is vintage Narine that has taken the IPL by storm this year. He averaged a mere 3, 8.9 and 7.8 in the last 3 seasons and was also not the preferred opener last season.
However, with the return of Gautam Gambhir, Narine once again opened in IPL 2024 and has already scored 276 runs at an average of 46 in 6 innings. His strike rate of 187.7 is also the best among the top 6 batters this season.

The 35-year-old raced to his hundred off just 49 balls before being eventually dismissed for 109 against the Royals.
Interestingly, Narine is just the 3rd player after Rohit Sharma and Shane Watson in IPL history to have scored a hundred and to have also taken a hat-trick with the ball.

LSG was looking to recover from an early wicket of Quinton de Kock and Deepak Hooda tried to take on Mitchell Starc. But his innings was cut short on 8 when Ramandeep flew to grab a screamer.

While Varun Chakravarthy took 3 wickets, Vaibhav Arora also stood out with 3 scalps as Delhi was bowled out for 166

The Kolkata Knight Riders made it a hat-trick of wins in IPL 2024 as they thrashed the Delhi Capitals by 106 runs in Vizag on Wednesday. It's their 2nd-biggest victory in terms of runs in IPL history.
Shreyas Iyer's decision to bat first proved right as KKR smashed 272/7, the second-highest team total in IPL history.
It all began when Sunil Narine did what he does best, rip apart the bowlers in the powerplay. He took it a step further this time and smashed 85 off just 39 balls, his highest score in T20 cricket.
He found a willing ally in Angkrish Raghuvanshi who matched him shot after shot. The 18-year-old had a dream IPL debut as he smashed a 27-ball-54.
It was the Andre Russell show post that as he muscled 41 off just 19 balls to help KKR finish at a mammoth 272/7 in 20 overs. He smashed 3 sixes and completed his 200th maximum for the Knight Riders.
Delhi had a forgettable start to their run-chase as they were reduced to 33/4 in 4.3 overs.
Rishabh Pant and Tristan Stubbs gave DC hope with a half-century each but once they both perished, it was curtains for the hosts.
While Varun Chakravarthy took 3 wickets, Vaibhav Arora also stood out with 3 scalps as Delhi was bowled out for 166.
It's the first time in their IPL history that KKR have won all of their first 3 games of a season. DC on the other hand has lost 3 matches in 4 outings.

With just 14 runs needed off the last over, it seemed that KKR would cross 277 but just 8 runs of the final over meant that they scored 272/7.

After 2 titles in 3 years from 2012 to 2014, the IPL trophy has eluded the Kolkata Knight Riders since then. But the King's men are all set to try and end that 10-year drought with a formidable squad this time around.
It's a new-look KKR that will take the field in 2024 with skipper Shreyas Iyer, who missed the last season due to injury, back to lead the team.
They might not have Jason Roy, someone who did well for KKR last year, but they won't miss his quick starts as the Knight Riders have a like-for-like replacement in Phil Salt.
The man to watch out for this year will be Rinku Singh. He is no longer a fresher but has honed his skills even more after playing T20Is regularly for India.
Apart from Venkatesh Iyer at the top, the responsibility of the middle order will fall on Rinku, Shreyas Iyer and Nitish Rana's shoulders before Andre Russell flexes his muscles down the order.
The bowling unit will be bolstered by Mitchell Starc, for Whom KKR shelled out ₹24.75 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. He is likely to pair up with Chetan Sakariya, another pacer who was bought by the franchise this year.
Add to that a strong-headed Gautam Gambhir as their mentor with a magical head coach Chandrakant Pandit and KKR becomes a force to reckon with.
Strength
With Sunil Narine, Suyash Sharma, Anukul Roy, Varun Chakaravarthy and a newly added Mujeeb Ur Rahman, KKR is probably the best spin-bowling unit in the IPL.
Weakness
Striking the right combination between Indian and foreign players might be a challenge for KKR. Given that Starc and Russell are likely to play all the games, KKR will be left with just 2 foreign slots.
They will have to choose between either Rahmanullah Gurbaz or Phill Salt as an opener. KKR is known to stick with Sunil Narine despite an average couple of seasons which will keep Mujeeb out of the equation.
Probable Playing XI:
Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer (c), Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Mitchell Starc, Harshit Rana, Chetan Sakariya, Varun Chakaravarthy. Impact Player: Suyash Sharma.

<h2>Dushmantha Chameera, familiar with the IPL terrain, has previously showcased his skills with teams such as the Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and the Lucknow Super Giants in 2022.</h2>

Sri Lankan fast bowler Dushmantha Chameera will join the Kolkata Knight Riders as a replacement for England's Gus Atkinson. Chameera has been enlisted at a reserve price of INR 50 Lakh, introducing a seasoned pacer into the KKR squad.
Chameera, familiar with the IPL terrain, has previously showcased his skills with teams such as the Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and the Lucknow Super Giants in 2022, making him a valuable asset for his new team. On the other hand, Gus Atkinson, yet to make his IPL debut, was initially acquired by KKR at the base price of INR 1 Crore during the auction held in December 2023. Despite his potential, Atkinson will not be part of the squad, paving the way for Chameera's entry.
Notably, Chameera, who was available at a base price of INR 50 Lakh in the auction, did not attract bids at that time. However, his experience and recent performances, including participation in the IL20 in UAE and matches against Afghanistan for Sri Lanka, underscore his readiness for the challenge ahead. The pacer's comeback follows a period of recovery from a shoulder injury that sidelined him from the Sri Lankan team for some time last year.

The small-town guy elegantly accumulated 23 runs in his last 2 overs before Mark Adair ousted him in the last over.

3 sixes and 4 fours, 38 off 21... Aligarh-born Rinku Singh announced his arrival on the international stage.&nbsp; It never felt that Rinku did not belong to the centre stage as he emulated his Indian Premier League success in Dublin against Ireland. The fiery Kolkata Knight Riders star came to bowl when India was struggling at 105-3, he first made a 24-run partnership with Ruturaj Gaikwad and then a crucial 55-run partnership with Shivam Dube to help India post a 186-run target.&nbsp; The small-town guy elegantly accumulated 23 runs in his last 2 overs before Mark Adair ousted him in the last over. Rinku Singh, who looks like a potential finisher for Team India consistently performed for his IPL team in this year's IPL as well.

IPL 2023, KKR vs LSG: Lucknow survive Rinku scare to seal 1-run win, confirm playoff spot

Gujarat Titans & Chennai Super Kings have been confirmed as the top two sides, it remains to be seen, who will Lucknow Super Giants face in the Eliminator next Wednesday.

Gujarat Titans &amp; Chennai Super Kings have been confirmed as the top two sides, it remains to be seen, who will Lucknow Super Giants face in the Eliminator next Wednesday.

A high-octane clash where a solitary run proved to be the difference between both sides.KKR fell short by just 1 run while chasing 177, enabling Lucknow Super Giants to qualify for the playoffs. As is always, Rinku Singh was the man for Kolkata with a sensational 33-ball-67* which included 6 fours &amp; 4 sixes and even though he was left with a little too much to do, the diminutive southpaw almost took his team over the finish line. But, almost wasn't going to be enough. The hosts had earlier managed a 61-run 1st wicket stand between Jason Roy who hit a 28-ball 45 and Venkatesh Iyer who contributed with a 15-ball-24. But the LSG spinners choked the KKR batting lineup in the middle overs, sparking a brilliant turnaround. Ravi Bishnoi (2/23) and Yash Thakur (2/31) proved to be the pick of the bowlers for LSG as they kept their nerves at the end to seal a spot in the Eliminator next week. Earlier, Nicholas Pooran smashed a 30-ball 58 to take Lucknow Super Giants to a competitive 176 for eight after a mini-collapse from the visitors, which saw them being reduced to 73/5 before Pooran bailed them out. While Gujarat &amp; Chennai have been confirmed as the top two sides, it remains to be seen, who will Lucknow face in the Eliminator next Wednesday.

#IPL2023 #LSG #KKR

The Lucknow Super Giants will wear the colours of local football giants Mohun Bagan when they take on the Kolkata Knight Riders in their final league match at Eden Gardens.

In a crucial IPL showdown, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) will be donning the famous green and maroon jersey of local giants Mohun Bagan, giving them a sense of home advantage as they aim to secure their playoff spot by defeating a struggling Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team on Saturday night.
Despite being the actual home team, KKR have faced disappointment with the playing conditions and have encountered deeper issues throughout the season, struggling to find a winning combination.
With seven defeats, four of which occurred at Eden Gardens, KKR has faced challenges in both their batting and bowling departments, particularly with the lack of experience in their pace attack.
With a congested mid-table, there is a possibility of four teams finishing with 14 points, and the team with a superior net run rate will make it to the playoffs.
Currently hanging by a thread with 12 points, KKR not only need a convincing victory but also rely on Punjab Kings, Gujarat Titans, and Sunrisers Hyderabad winning their respective matches against Rajasthan Royals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and Mumbai Indians.
In contrast, LSG can breathe a bit easier as a victory would be sufficient for them to secure back-to-back playoff berths. With stronger momentum and performance, LSG appear to have the upper hand over the struggling KKR, who have failed to find their stride even on their home turf.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni&rsquo;s last league game of IPL 2023 at the Chepauk ended on a sad note for his team after they suffered a 6-wicket defeat by the Kolkata Knight Riders.&nbsp;

Skipper Nitish Rana and Kolkata&rsquo;s trusted Rinku Singh stitched up a 99-run partnership, comfortably guiding the team over the finish line.&nbsp;
While Deepak Chahar shined for Chennai with a 3-wicket haul, his stellar performance was in vain.&nbsp;
Rinku Singh registered his 3rd IPL fifty in the 16th over, incidentally his first half-century in a winning cause but was run-out by Moeen Ali in the 18th over.&nbsp;
With 13 runs remaining in the chase and plenty of balls at their disposal, captain Nitish Rana seemed in no rush to hurry.&nbsp; In the third ball of the penultimate over, Nitish hit Tushar Deshpande for a four, leading KKR to their 6th victory in 13 games.&nbsp;
Sunday&rsquo;s match was an emotional one for Chennai fans as speculations of Dhoni&rsquo;s retirement continue to overshadow the entire tournament.&nbsp;
Earlier in the evening, the fans could not stop cheering as the legendary cricketer arrived at the crease in the very last over to play just 2 balls.&nbsp;
CSK&rsquo;s innings was spearheaded by Shivam Dube, who fell short of a half-century by 2 runs. The hosts were losing wickets at quick intervals, having been reduced to 72-5 in the 11th over.&nbsp;
It was a 66-run partnership by Dube and Ravindra Jadeja that helped CSK post a modest 144.

IPL 2023 KKR vs PBKS - Russell, Rinku & Rana shine as Kolkata clinch final ball thriller

The hosts were chasing 180 and it was captain Nitish Rana who top-scored for them with a watchful knock of 51 off 38 balls.

Put a run-chase and Rinku Singh into the mix, what do you get? An innings to remember. Monday night was no different. Playing at home, Kolkata Knight Riders made sure to put up an unforgettable show. The hosts were chasing 180 and it was captain Nitish Rana who top-scored for them with a watchful knock of 51 off 38 balls. Opener and impact player Jason Roy had earlier contributed fairly with a 24-ball-38. But when the skipper departed after completing his half-century, he passed on the baton to Russell &amp; Rinku, for the game was still in balance. The Caribbean all-rounder went full throttle on PBKS bowlers. In his short stint at the crease, Russell hit 3 sixes and as many fours, scoring a 23-ball 42 before he sacrificed his wicket to try and take a quick run on the penultimate ball. Russell was supported by KKR&rsquo;s hero Rinku Singh, who finished with an unbeaten 21 off just 10 balls. With 2 runs needed off the final ball, in traditional Rinku fashion, he hit a boundary to give KKR an all-important win. Earlier, it was Varun Chakaravarthy who rattled Punjab batters with his spin to scalp 3 wickets, an innings where Shikhar Dhawan's fifty and late cameos from Shahrukh Khan &amp; Harpreet Brar saw them reach 179 at the end.
