Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], April 29 : An explosive half-century from Rahmanullah Gurbaz and an entertaining cameo by birthday boy Andre Russell powered Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to a competitive 179/7 against Gujarat Titans (GT) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match at Eden Gardens here on Saturday.Put to bat first by GT, KKR was off to a shaky start. After Narayan Jagadeesan smashed skipper Hardik Pandya for three boundaries in the second over, Mohammed Shami trapped him leg-before-wicket for 19 (15 balls) that included four boundaries. KKR were 23/1 at this point.Shardul Thakur came to bat at number three, with KKR looking to up the attack. Rahmanullah Gurbaz unleashed some heavy hits on GT from the other side, smashing Pandya for two sixes and Shami for a six and four. However, the move to send Shardul at the top backfired as he was caught by Mohit Sharma at mid-on for a duck. Shami got his second wicket. KKR were 47/2 in five overs.With the help of a six from Gurbaz, KKR reached the 50-run mark in 5.3 overs.Gurbaz continued his carnage, reaching the second half-century of his IPL career in just 27 balls.
