Nitish Rana`s and Rinku Singh`s quickfire unbeaten knocks of 48 and 42 steered Kolkata Knight Riders to a comfortable seven-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals at their IPL match at Wankhede Stadium here on Monday.
Chasing a tricky 153-run target, Kolkata Knight Riders` openers did not get the best of starts as Rajasthan`s right-arm pacer Kuldeep Sen dismissed Aaron Finch and rattled his stumps on the third ball of his over. Prasidh Krishna dismissed opener Baba Indrajith after he had scored 15 runs in 16 balls leaving KKR`s total at 32/2.
