Three of India’s brightest young talents combined to lift Kolkata Knight Riders to a 37-run win over Rajasthan Royals in Dubai.

Shubman Gill, 21, top scored for Kolkata as they made 174-6 off their 20 overs in their first game at the Dubai International Stadium of the tournament so far.

Shivam Mavi, 21, and Kamlesh Nagarkoti, 20, then took four wickets between them as the previously unbeaten Rajasthan capitulated to 137-9 from their 20 overs.

The win moved KKR above Rajasthan into second place in the league table, with Delhi Capitals restored to top spot on net run-rate.

The Bio

Favourite Emirati dish: I have so many because it has a lot of herbs and vegetables. Harees  (oats with chicken) is one of them

Favourite place to go to: Dubai Mall because it has lots of sports shops.

Her motivation: My performance because I know that whatever I do, if I put the effort in, I’ll get results

During her free time: I like to drink coffee - a latte no sugar and no flavours. I do not like cold drinks

Pet peeve: That with every meal they give you a fries and Pepsi. That is so unhealthy

Advice to anyone who wants to be an ironman: Go for the goal. If you are consistent, you will get there. With the first one, it might not be what they want but they should start and just do it
