Earlier, GT captain Hardik Pandya won the toss and opted to bowl first against KKR. Asked to bat first at home, Rahmanullah Gurbaz played like a lone warrior as he led the charge for KKR single handedly amid no support from the other end. He played a stunning knock of 81 runs off just 39 balls. Later, Russell’s quickfire knock of 34 off 19 guided KKR to 179 for seven.
