But the former had judged it perfectly, with his right foot inches away from the cushion. Meanwhile, blistering innings from Finn Allen (93) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi (82) proved decisive as Kolkata Knight Riders capitalised on Gujarat Titans’ poor fielding to bag a 29-run victory. Allen’s explosive 35-ball innings gave KKR the perfect launchpad before Raghuvanshi smashed an unbeaten 82 off 44 balls and Cameron Green added a quickfire 52* off 28 deliveries to finish strongly. The duo stitched together a 108-run partnership in just 53 balls as KKR posted a season-best 247/2. In reply, Gill (85, 49b), Jos Buttler (57, 35b) and Sai Sudharsan (53 n.o., 28b) fought well, but GT had to settle for 218/4. The win against GT took KKR to 11 points from 12 games and lifted them to seventh in the standings. But they must win their remaining two matches to keep their playoff hopes alive. Despite the loss, GT stayed second on the table with 16 points and one league game still to play.
