The Kolkata Knight Riders and Rajasthan Royals battled in a last-ball drama on Tuesday.Yashasvi Jaiswal appeared quite elegant, but he had to leave after taking one from Vaibhav Arora. A flash of the old Jaiswal, who has been struggling with form in the most recent edition, was evident during the innings. Even though his team concluded with a victory, he had additional reasons to be happy.
None other than Shah Rukh Khan is the cause. The KKR owner is the one responsible for the franchise’s strong brand value. He seizes the spotlight from the players when he sees them in the stands. Jaiswal considers himself one of his many admirers. He was observed pleading with his KKR teammates to get him to see Shah Rukh Khan after the match. The King of Bollywood granted his dream, giving him a cozy embrace.

After one final ball versus KKR, RR wins.
Thanks to Sunil Narine’s merciless century, KKR set a massive 223-run goal for RR to pursue. RR made mistakes throughout the chase, losing wickets quickly after. Approaching Narine head-on, Rovman Powell struck a boundary and two sixes before getting out. However, with 107 off 60, Jos Buttler was the one who carried his team home on his own. At the post-match presentation, Kolkata captain Shreyas Iyer appeared sad and his emotions were evident.

It was a difficult pill to swallow, and the feelings were all over the place. I had no idea that we would find ourselves in this predicament. It’s a humorous game, and Rovman hit some nice strikes. It’s difficult to explain what transpired, but you have to accept it and go on. You need to make sure that at this moment you bowl your best deliveries; even a few misses will send you flying off the field. Iyer expressed his gratitude that it occurred here rather than later in the competition.
