Kolkata Knight Riders End Skid

The victory keeps KKR's tournament hopes alive after a difficult stretch of results.

Rinku Singh's unbeaten 53 and a quickfire 29 from Anukul Roy secured the chase after the Royals were restricted to 155.

Chakravarthy highlighted the emotional significance of the win, noting that he saw 'more tears today' than when the team previously won the IPL title.

The Royals will need to address their batting inconsistencies as the race for the top four heats up.
