KKRiders openers Robin Uthappa and Gautam Gambhir
(34 off 34) played a good partnership in Mohali on Tuesday

Kolkata Knight Riders beat hosts Kings XI Punjab by six wickets on Tuesday, to make it to the top of the points table. They now share the top spot with Gujarat Lions.

Commentary:

Yadav thumps one past the bowler and finishes it for KKR, to complete a clinical performance.

Pathan looks to be in a hurry to finish the innings. Two fours and the runs needed is reduced to a single digit. Big over this, 13 runs off it.

24 balls, 15 runs. KKR cruising along comfortably at 124/4 after 16 overs

Axar to continue, to bowl his third over. Bad day getting worse for Kings XI - Vohra runs in from long-off and spills a catch, and the ball rolls down to the boundary. Shakib not making the most of the chance he;s been given, lobs a catch to Sandeep who pouches it at point. He was looking to wrap up the innings quickly but persihes in the process.
