Meanwhile, Roy led the show on Wednesday with a fiery fifty as Kolkata Knight Riders got their mojo back to notch a fighting 200 for five against Royal Challengers Bangalore. It turned out to be too much for the hosts as KKR snapped their losing streak to register a crucial 21-run victory.
KKR finally got into the act with Roy setting tempo up front when he smashed five sixes and four boundaries en route to his 29-ball 56 as he and Narayan Jagadeesan (27; 29b) gave KKR their best ever start — 83 runs from 56 balls.
After losing a couple of wickets, Nitish Rana ensured that they don’t lose the momentum as he made full use of his two reprieves — on five and 19 — to race to his 21-ball 48 (3×4, 4×6).

Meanwhile, the spin duo of Varun Chakravarthy (3/24) and rookie Suyash Sharma (2/30) created a top-order mayhem, before Andre Russell (2/29) broke Virat Kohli’s(54) resistance to restrict RCB to 179 for eight.
