Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Sunrisers Hyderabad by five runs in the IPL match. Varun Chakravarthy's end-overs mastery helped KKR pull off an improbable win, only their fourth in 10 matches this season. Heinrich Klaasen was dominating at the start of the second half of the chase, but fell to Shardul Thakur's golden arm, and then Varun choked SRH with help from Vaibhav Arora, who got the wicket of Aiden Markram in the 17th over.
Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad have bounced back after their initial losses in the IPL 2023 season. KKR has been boosted by the arrival of Jason Roy and Litton Das, while Sunrisers have found a more cohesive unit with the arrival of South Africans. KKR is yet to settle on an opening combination, while Sunrisers have struggled against spinners this season. Both teams are looking to continue their winning momentum in the upcoming matches.
Kolkata Knight Riders' Shardul Thakur smashed 68 off 29 balls to take his team to 204, the highest total for a team five down for less than 100, before spinners Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy ran through Royal Challengers Bangalore's batting to give them a reality check in an IPL they start as one of the favourites. Varun ended up with four wickets, while debutant legspinner Suyash Sharma took three late wickets as KKR won by 81 runs.
