This has been reported in timesofindia.indiatimes.com dated 17 May 2015.
RR won the toss and opted to bat first and the opening pair of Shane Watson and Ajinkya Rahane (37) put on 80 runs before Rahane was run out attempting a second run when there was none. Shane Watson hit five sixes and nine fours in his 59 ball blitz of 104 not out.
RR finally posted 199 for the loss of 6 wickets and KKR had to score at the rate of 10 runs per over.
But, KKR began on a dismal note losing Gautam Gambhir in the first over itself. But, they had hard hitting batsmen like Yusuf Pathan and Andre Russell in their midst. They did their best but Pathan fell to Watson for 44 and Russell fell to Morris for 37. The KKR innings ultimately ended at 190 for 9.
With this win, RR climb up the ladder to No 2 position – they have 16 points from 14 games.
