Kolkata Knight Riders end winless streak

The victory ends a frustrating six-match losing streak for KKR and keeps their tournament hopes alive.

Chakravarthy's three-wicket haul marked a return to form for the spinner, who had struggled on batting-friendly tracks earlier in the season.

Rajasthan Royals, despite strong individual performances from Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, were unable to defend their score under pressure.

KKR captain Shreyas Iyer praised the team's resilience and highlighted a dressing-room six-hitting contest as a key motivator for the squad.
