Kolkata Knight Riders kept their playoff hopes alive with a four-wicket victory over the Hardik Pandya-led Mumbai Indians at Eden Gardens. Chasing a target of 148 runs, KKR completed the chase in 18.5 overs. However, the win also brought concern after Raghuvanshi suffered an injury during the match.
Shane Watson later confirmed that Raghuvanshi suffered neck pain, dizziness, and a severe headache after the collision. Although the youngster wanted to return to the field, the medical staff ruled him out of the remainder of the match.
“So, unfortunately, he wasn't able to finish off the game. And I know how desperate he was as well. He's someone who is as tough a competitor as I've ever met. So we certainly missed him from a batting perspective,” he added.
Manish Pandey and Rovman Powell Anchor Chase
Kolkata Knight Riders promoted veteran batter Manish Pandey to the number three position. Pandey, playing his first innings of the season, helped stabilize the chase after Finn Allen lost his wicket early.
Concussion substitute Tejasvi Dahiya came out to bat in the final overs and scored 11 runs off 12 balls on his IPL debut before Corbin Bosch dismissed him. Rinku Singh and Anukul Roy guided Kolkata Knight Riders to victory with seven balls remaining.
