The Gujarat Titans have defeated the Kolkata Knight Riders by five wickets in an Indian Premier League fixture on Friday.
KKR’s dismal show in this year’s edition continues as they lost another game on the trot.
For Gujarat, Captain Shubman Gill scored 86 off 50 balls while South African pacer Kagiso Rabada led the charge in the bowling department.
Gill smashed eight fours and four sixes in his innings as the hosts managed to chase down the target in 19.4 overs.
Batting first, KKR managed to put up a decent 181 on the board, courtesy of a quick-fire 79 from Australian all-rounder Cameron Green.
Green’s knock-off of 55 balls came after KKR saw their top order torn apart by pacers Kagiso Rabada (3/29) and Mohammed Siraj (2/23).
KKR were reduced to 32/3 inside the fourth over before Green rebuilt the innings, adding a 55-run stand for the fourth wicket with Rovman Powell (27), followed by a steady partnership with Anukul Roy (9) to push the total to a respectable finish.
Kolkata is the only team yet to register a win this season. So far they have only one point from six games played.
The only point came in the form of a draw when their match against the unbeaten Punjab Kings was washed out.
