Rajasthan Royals lives to fight another day; Varun Aaron justifies inclusion with a splendid initial burst to put Kolkata Knight Riders on the backfoot
Riyan Parag emerged the unlikely hero as he mounted a late charge to help Rajasthan Royals overcome host Kolkata Knight Riders by three wickets with four balls to spare at the Eden Gardens here on Thursday.
Chasing 176 for victory, Royals appeared heading for another defeat, losing six wickets for 123. But Parag’s defiant 47 off31 balls, with five boundaries and two sixes, changed the course of the match.
Breezy partnership
The 17-year-old Assam batsman added 44 offjust 21 balls for the seventh wicket with Jofra Archer that gave Royals a crucial win.
Parag’s effort overshadowed a fine unbeaten 97 by KKR captain Dinesh Karthik who helped his side score 175 for six in 20 overs.
