Varun Chakravarthy – 8. Another excellent return for the former architecture student, as he got the wickets of Archer and Tewatia. Sportzpics for BCCI
RAJASTHAN ROYALS RATINGS: Jos Buttler – 5. Still finding his range after his late arrival. He dropped Rana, then when he batted he crunched a four and two sixes, before falling to Mavi. Sportzpics for BCCI
Steve Smith – 3. Completely out of sorts as he swished away at Cummins. Had an appeal for caught behind, might have been caught at long off, then finally perished to an ugly swipe. Sportzpics for BCCI
Sanju Samson – 5. Threw himself around in the outfield, and took one brilliant catch. Missed out for once with the bat. Sportzpics for BCCI
Robin Uthappa – 3. A bit of a shocker, all in all. He dropped Narine, he nearly ran out Buttler when he got to the crease, then he holed out when his side needed him to stick around. Sportzpics for BCCI
Riyan Parag – 4. Held a good catch to dismiss Rana, when others around him had struggled in the field. But his tournament haul for runs is now seven in three innings. Sportzpics for BCCI
Rahul Tewatia – 6. It was a long shot to expect a reprise of his Sharjah heroics, and he went cheaply this time. He bowled one over, and took a wicket. Sportzpics for BCCI
Shreyas Gopal – 5. Leaked two sixes in the last four balls he bowled to Russell. All had been going so well to that point. Sportzpics for BCCI
Tom Curran – 7. Still unable to stem the flow of runs, and he has an alarming economy rate for his IPL career so far. At least he showed fight with the bat, as he made a half-century. Sportzpics for BCCI
Jofra Archer – 8. After two matches in Sharjah, he seemed inspired by the pacier track on offer in Dubai. He hit some blistering speeds, and was miserly, too. Sportzpics for BCCI
Jaydev Unadkat – 6. Weird that he was only given two overs, as this felt like his best display of the tournament yet. He was pumped when he bowled Narine. Sportzpics for BCCI
Ankit Rajpoot – 6. His figures of one for 39 matched what he did in the last game in Sharjah. This was less impressive, given the previous game’s run-spree. Sportzpics for BCCI
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS RATINGS: Shubman Gill – 7. Such an attractive player to watch, but he was cut off in his prime this time. Chipped a leading edge up to Archer on 47 off 34. Fine catch to remove Parag. Sportzpics for BCCI
Sunil Narine - 5. Did not make an impression with the bat, and was the one bowler to really suffer at the hands of the Royals batsmen. Sportzpics for BCCI
Nitish Rana – 6. It felt as though he was just finding his range when he hit Tewatia to Parag when on 22. Sportzpics for BCCI
Andre Russell – 6. He was disconsolate when he sliced a catch out to deep backward point, just as he had found his stride for the first time in the tournament. Sportzpics for BCCI
Dinesh Karthik – 4. Could do little about the delivery that got him. It was a beauty from Archer as he was dismissed for one. Sportzpics for BCCI
Eoin Morgan – 7. Another red-inker means he is now averaging 92 for the tournament to date. His hitting pressured Curran into bowling three wides in a row, too. Sportzpics for BCCI
Kamlesh Nagarkoti – 8. A stunning catch to get rid of Archer, as well as the wickets of Uthappa and Parag in quick succession represented a good night’s work. Sportzpics for BCCI
Pat Cummins – 8. The Australian seemed to raise his game after seeing Archer’s excellence in the first innings. He was all over his compatriot Smith. Sportzpics for BCCI
Shivam Mavi – 9. What a couple of scalps for the 21-year-old seamer. His dismissals of Buttler and Samson went a long way towards KKR winning it. Sportzpics for BCCI
Kuldeep Yadav – 6. Only played a bit part. Did not bowl until the 15th over, and KKR had the game wrapped up by that point. Sportzpics for BCCI
Varun Chakravarthy – 8. Another excellent return for the former architecture student, as he got the wickets of Archer and Tewatia. Sportzpics for BCCI
