IPL 2021: Chris Morris' Four-Wicket Haul Helps RR Seal 6-Wicket Win vs KKR

RR vs KKR, IPL 2021: Chris Morris dismissed Dinesh Karthik, Eoin Morgan, Andre Russel and Pat Cummins to help Rajasthan Royals defeat Kolkata Knight Riders at the Wankhede Stadium, on Saturday.

Chris Morris' four-wicket burst in the death overs and skipper Sanju Samson's measured innings gave Rajasthan Royals a much-needed win over Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL, on Saturday. Royals pacers, who were smart with their change of pace, restricted KKR to 133 for nine after Samson opted to bowl first. Royals lost their openers, Jos Buttler (5) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (22), in the powerplay but they never lost control of the chase and got over the line in 18.5 overs for their second win in five matches. For KKR, it was their fourth loss in five matches. Morris, the most expensive player in the IPL auction history, proved his worth with figures of four for 23 in four overs. The other pacers, Jaydev Unadkat (1/25), Chetan Sakariya (1/31) and Mustafizur Rahman (1/22), also made valuable contributions.
