While Gurkeerat Mann played second fiddle, Shimron Hetmyer took charge and battered the bowling all around the park.
With Kolkata eyeing a spot in the play-offs, this was a must-win game for them.

With both batsmen going hammer and tongs it was guaranteed that Rajasthan would breach the 200 run mark.
Hyderbad went from 101/2 to 116 all out.
Chahar started the rot for KKR early in their innings when he trapped opener Chris Lynn in front of the wickets as the Aussie missed a pull off a delivery that kept low. Lynn was sent back inside the first over for a duck. He came into the equation in the next over when he took a brilliant catch, running backwards, to dismiss Sunil Narine for just 6 off the bowling of Harbhajan Singh.
Punjab bowlers gave nothing away, especially after taking out Hyderabad opener Jonny Bairstow (1 off 6) in the second over. With their middle order getting few chances to bat in this IPL, it was going to be a task for them to get going.
Dhoni and Raina accumulated runs in singles and twos early in the partnership, then accelerated the scoring after the 10th over.
Shaw kept taking on the bowlers and ensured boundaries came in every over as he got into the 90s.
After Krunal got Gayle's big wicket, it was imperative that the required run rate be maintained and coming in at one down, Mayank Agarwal ensured that he kept the tempo going.
Starting from where he left off in the opening game against Kolkata Knight Riders, Dave creamed the Rajasthan bowling in all directions of the field, not allowing any bowler to settle down.
