New Delhi: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) were back to winning ways in the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 by beating the Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 6 wickets on Friday at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Umesh Yadav ripped through PBKS’ batting line-up with a brilliant 4-wicket haul before Andre Russell’s annihilating unbeaten knock of 70 off just 31 deliveries propelled KKR to a commanding victory against PBKS.

Chasing 138 for victory, the Kolkata Knight Riders lost two early wickets. Ajinkya Rahane, who reached the 4000 IPL runs landmark in the game, was later caught by Odean Smith at short third man.

Venkatesh Iyer was dismissed to a sharp-catch by Harpreet Brar inside the circle. Sam Billings joined skipper Shreyas Iyer, who was looking in solid touch and was dealing in boundaries.

The Knight Riders required only 14 runs off the final six overs and Russell wrapped up the chase with consecutive sixes and remained unbeaten on 70 off just 31 deliveries to complete a dominating victory, with more than five overs to spare.
