Nandan. The hosts stared down the barrel from then on losing the next three three wickets for 27 runs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Yusuf Pathan (8), Manish Pandey (15) and Colin de Grandhomme (0) were removed by Chahal as KKR were left reeling at 93\/6.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Chris Woakes (18; 21b 3x4 0x6) and Suryakumar Yadav hung around for sometime for a 27-run seventh wicket stand before Mills got rid of Woakes and Nathan Coulter-Nile (2) followed suit without troubling the scorers much.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Suryakumar (15; 19b 1x4 0x6) fell to Pawan Negi while Kuldeep Yadav was taken by Aravind. Umesh Yadav remained not out for 2.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Earlier, rain delayed start of play for half an hour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Brief scores:&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Kolkata Knight Riders: 131 (Sunil Narine 34; Yuzvendra Chahal 3\/16) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore.<\/p>\r\n",
