KKR set a huge total of 247\/2 at Eden Gardens before limiting Gujarat to 218\/4, winning by 29 runs and keeping their playoff hopes alive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
After the match, Gujarat Titans assistant coach Patel pointed out fielding mistakes as the key factor in the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI think catching is something that made a huge difference,\u201d Patel said after the match.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cWhen you are playing high-scoring games against strong batters, you don't get many chances. When you get that chance, you have to make sure you catch the balls. I thought that was the difference.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
GT missed important opportunities against all three KKR batters who made significant contributions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Finn Allen was dropped by Mohammed Siraj at long-on when he had scored 33. The explosive opener took full advantage, blasting 93 off just 35 balls, including 10 sixes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Cameron Green got another chance on 23 when Arshad Khan dropped a catch and accidentally knocked the ball over the boundary for four. Green finished with an unbeaten 52 off 28 balls.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Angkrish Raghuvanshi also benefited from a missed catch on 53 when Washington Sundar dropped a chance. The young batter ended his innings not out on 82.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Once KKR passed the 240-run mark, Gujarat's chase became more challenging, even with a strong effort from their batting lineup.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
However, Patel especially praised Allen for how he took on Gujarat\u2019s strong pace attack led by Siraj and Kagiso Rabada.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
