How Statz Rating works:
- Each player receives a contextual match impact score based on their all-round contribution — batting, bowling, and situational factors.
- Ratings are scaled against the season benchmark so they are directly comparable across fixtures and to the season leaderboard.
- A typical top performer scores around 100. Exceptional performances can exceed 100.
KKR vs RR Match Report – IPL 2026 | Statz Cricket
Varun Chakaravarthy turned the game with 3/14 and Rinku Singh delivered an unbeaten 53 as Kolkata Knight Riders beat Rajasthan Royals by 4 wickets at Eden Gardens, winning off the penultimate ball to snap a five-match losing run.
Rajasthan Royals innings: 155/9 (20 ov)
Rajasthan needed Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Yashasvi Jaiswal to fire, and early on they did. Suryavanshi raced to 46 off 28 balls, striking six fours and two sixes before Chakaravarthy ended the partnership with his first of three. Yashasvi Jaiswal made 39 off 29, looking dangerous until Sunil Narine had him caught at mid-on in the 11th over.
Once those two were gone, Rajasthan fell apart. Dhruv Jurel stumped for 5, Riyan Parag bowled for 12, and Ravindra Jadeja could only chip 9 off 7 before a catch to mid-off. The middle order mustered just 28 runs between positions 3 and 7. Jofra Archer chanced his arm for 8 off 5 but was run out. 155/9 at the close – competitive, but KKR had their chase in front of a roaring Eden Gardens crowd.
Varun Chakaravarthy was brilliant: 4 overs, 0 maidens, 14 runs, 3 wickets at an economy of 3.50. Kartik Tyagi took 3/22 and Narine added 2/26. The spinners bowled 12 of the 20 overs and conceded just 40 runs between them – that squeeze is what kept RR short of 160.
KKR chase: 161/6 (19.4 ov)
KKR’s reply was messy early. Tim Seifert gone first ball, Ajinkya Rahane out for a duck two overs later – 5/2 inside two overs and Eden Gardens went quiet. Cameron Green lit the fuse briefly, smashing 27 off 13 (207.69 SR) before being stumped off Ravi Bishnoi. Rovman Powell added 23 before holing out to deep midwicket.
At 85/6 in the 14th, the chase was wobbling. Rinku Singh and Anukul Roy were at the crease and needing 76 off 38. What followed was the best partnership of KKR’s season. Rinku hit 53 not out off 34 balls – five fours, two sixes, strike rate 155.88 – while Roy smashed 29 not out off 16 (181.25 SR). They put on 76 in just over 6 overs to seal it with 2 balls left.
Jadeja was RR’s bright spot with 2/8 from 3 overs – miserly stuff in T20. Jofra Archer took 1/35 from four but went at 8.75 economy. Ravi Bishnoi cost 41 from four. KKR’s lower order did what their top order couldn’t.
