KKR got off to a good start as they were cruising at 63/1 in seven overs after Shreyas Iyer won the toss and decided to bat first, with Nitish Rana scoring 25 not out off 16 balls. Ajinkya Rahane was there at the crease, on 27 off 22 balls. The eighth over was bowled by Umran Malik.  They slipped from 65/1 to 94/5 after Shreyas Iyer won the toss and opted to bat.

During the 12th over, T Natarajan delivered a toe-crushing yorker to Rinku. It actually hit Rinku’s toe, and the on-field umpire took some time before raising his finger. Sam Billings, who was there at the non-strikers’ end, signaled for DRS immediately. But Rinku went on to discuss with Billings whether they should go upstairs or not, and by the time he went for DRS, the time was up. The on-field umpires then told Rinku that he had to return to the pavilion as he was out of time to challenge the decision.
