Kolkata: A new-look Kolkata Knight Riders under new skipper Dinesh Karthik
overcame the jitters to notch up a convincing four-wicket win over
heavyweights Royal Challengers Bangalore and make a positive start to
their campaign in the Indian Premier League here today.
Chasing a
stiff 177 after KKR opted to bowl, opener Sunil Narine set up the chase
with a 17-ball 50 (4x4, 5x6), the joint fourth-fastest fifty in the
IPL.
