Quinton de Kock’s monumental knock of 140* and his record unbeaten opening-stand of 210 with skipper KL Rahul helped LSG secure a 2-run victory in a high-scoring thriller.
Chasing a mammoth target of 211, KKR lost Venkatesh Iyer’s wicket in the first over, bowled by Mohsin Khan after Quinton de Kock took a fine diving catch behind the stumps.
