IPL 2021: Chris Morris, Sanju Samson fire as RR hand KKR their 4th straight loss of the season

IPL 2021, RR vs KKR: Rajasthan Royals ended their 2-match losing streak after handing Kolkata Knight Riders a 6-wicket hammering in Mumbai on Saturday. Eoin Morgan's men were insipid with both the bat and the ball as they slipped to the last spot on the points table.

Kolkata Knight Riders slipped to their 4th straight defeat of Indian Premier League 2021, thereby reaching the bottom of the 8-team points table after an ordinary performance with both the bat and the ball against Rajasthan Royals in Mumbai on Saturday. KKR were handed a 6-wicket loss after Eoin Morgan's men posted only 133 for 9 in 20 overs at the Wankhede Stadium which was played host to teams scoring in excess of 180 with ease. Rajasthan Royals rode on a 4-wicket haul by their most-expensive signing Chris Morris and a steady and matured 41-ball 42 not out from captain Sanju Samson who anchored their chase which was completed in 18.5 overs. The comfortable win, which comes 2 days after their 10-wicket loss to Royal Challengers Bangalore not just lifts them out of the last spot but their confidence which had taken a beating after injuries to Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer. This was Kolkata's 10th loss in their last 11 games at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
