Nitish Rana and Rinku Singh stitched an unbeaten stand of 66 runs for the fourth wicket to take the team over the line. The gesture from the Royals skipper suggested that it was more a call to mark a protest. That is why the DRS was brought in. The umpire subsequently called it a wide but Samson decided to review the on-field decision. Today it always looked like KKR are going to win but we have sat here so many times and seen decisions go against bowlers that are so close and the umpires got it wrong. “The player should be able to decide in these crucial matters.

18.3 Prasidh to Rinku Singh, wide, a big flashy drive outside off, and Krishna has fired in another wide yorker. Ooo, this would've been an umpire's call as well with the ball spinning in to clip leg-stump The same line a couple of overs go wasn't a wide. 23:19 Local Time, 17:49 GMT, 23:19 IST: And Kolkata manage to steer clear of Mumbai. They're probably going down, and they're surely up against a mountain in their bid to qualify, but they stay more in the CSK zone. Iyer laid the platform, fell to a pretty soft strangle down the leg-side; Rana was the one who gave the chase some momentum when he took Ashwin apart in the eleventh over, and Rinku was in the zone right from the start. He (Rinku) has been in the franchise for a long period of time. He is a great asset for the franchise for the future. Sanju Samson, RR skipper: The wicket was a bit slow, but they also bowled really well but with the kind of batting we had, would have liked a few more boundaries at the end and finish off a bit better. Rana was out in the middle and that gave him (Rinku) a lot of confidence in his company. I have been waiting for the last five years to get a chance. Rinku Singh, MoM: A lot of players have played Ranji from Aligarh, but I am the first to play the IPL. This is a big league and there is a lot of pressure obviously. So Rajasthan slump to their second defeat in a row, and they owe both of them to their misfiring batting display.

IPL 2022 Live Score, KKR vs RR: Hetmyer's late push takes RR to ... (Hindustan Times)

KKR vs RR IPL 2022 Live Score Today Match: Shimron Hetmyer smashed 27 off 13 balls but Rajasthan Royals could only get to 152/5 in their 20 overs.

We are just past the halfway mark of the IPL and Buttler has already scored 566 runs in nine games, which is regarded as a good tally for any batter at the end a season. This may lead to them putting in a few alterations to their playing XI todays game.Read More KKR batters have a combined average of just over 19 this season, easily the worse among all teams. Of the 25 matches between them, RR have won 13 and KKR have 12 victories, including two Super Over wins. The Wankhede Stadium is turning out to be a bit of a dilemma for captains. Rajasthan Royals are challenging the notion of “win the toss, win the match” this season with their captain Sanju Samson winning the toss just once throughout this season. Just a gentle push from Buttler and a single may have been the intended result but Narine leisurely comes jogging in and the ball passes him by. Umesh Yadav made to the bowl the fourth ball of the fifth over again because that was a no-ball. Samson with the first maximum of the evening. Not sure what the issue is but Samson is flat on his back and the RR physio is getting him to do a few stretches. 17th IPL half century for Samson and he has got there in 38 balls. He kicks the air in disgust and that spoils a good 15th over from Umesh. RR 105/3 off 15.

RR vs KKR Man of the match: Rinku Singh (Moneycontrol.com)

Playing only his third match in this IPL 2022, Singh already made his presence felt against Gujarat Titans with four catches in the deep and scoring 35 ...

He did not make a mess of it as he collected it cleanly at wide long-on to signal the end of Samson. He even tricked Krishna into bowling wides and upset the KKR bowlers’ rhythm. Rana, who had dominated the 60-run third wicket partnership with Iyer, was happy to watch Singh take charge.

IPL 2022: A night for Knights, at last (The Indian Express)

A solid bowling effort led by Umesh Yadav sets up KKR's first win in six games as Rinku Singh's late hitting hands RR a seven-wicket loss.

Rinku came in at Shreyas’ exit in the 13th over and the innings acquired some momentum finally. At the halfway stage, RR had been 62 for 2, and KKR were 59 for 2. Two of those catches were taken by Rinku Singh, a livewire presence on the fence amid an otherwise lacklustre team fielding effort at times. Meanwhile, Samson was having problems with his lower back, and had already taken treatment from the physio. A Powerplay score of 38/1 meant Buttler had to take more risks than usual in the middle overs. One quality Umesh has added this season is control; there haven’t been too many overcooked offerings heading into the pads, the route through which he’s often released pressure and leaked runs over his career.

KKR batters found the going tough on a slow paced Wankhede pitch, where shot-making wasn’t easy at all. The level of the IPL is high… I think this was the wrong call by the umpire… Nitish Rana (48 not out) anchored the chase, while Rinku Singh played a 23-ball unbeaten 42-run cameo to help KKR overwhelm the target with consummate ease. A number of fans made sure that they trend him on Twitter as RR went onto lose the game by 7 wickets. Sanju Samson had thrown the ball to his trusted bowler Prasidh Krishna as he had bowled well till that point.

KKR vs RR: Boult gets it on the shin, Rana wins battle with Ashwin ... (The Indian Express)

Kolkata Knight Riders down Rajasthan Royals to end losing streak.

Perhaps, he just wanted the umpire to see the replay on the screen in front of everyone and make a point as the ball was no way close to the stumps. The way the hands fold up and go up suggests as if he is throwing an Angavastram, a man-stole, over the shoulder, exactly how Pant does it too. A carrom ball on middle-and-leg was reverse-paddled to the fine-leg boundary. Krishna took a couple of steps and did a high-five with the Kiwi, who must thank his stars he managed to jump just in time to get it on his shoes. Krishna picked up the ball at mid-on and fired a throw at the striker’s end to which Aaron Finch was rushing. Up he jumped to get out of the way, and luckily the ball smashed into his boots.

KKR vs RR: Fans lash out at umpires after wide ball controversy ... (India Today)

Umpire Nitin Pandit consistently called Prasidh Krishna's wide yorkers and left the bowler and the captain frustrated in the penultimate over of the game.

Prasidh ended up getting hit for 17 runs in the penultimate over, which essentially sealed the fate of the game. Rinku Singh and Nitish Rana starred for KKR after stitching together a fantastic partnership. Defending 18 from the last two overs, Sanju Samson handed the ball to his trusted lieutenant Prasidh Krishna - who had bowled very well till that point in the game. Give this umpire an Award for best umpiring. The Marylebone Cricket Club, that writes the law of cricket, explains that a wide should not be called if the ball seems to be in the reach of the batsmen. either causes the ball to pass wide of him/her, as defined in 22.1.2
