IPL 2025: Varun And Moeen Pick Two Wickets Each As KKR Restrict RR To 151/9
Kolkata Knight Riders: Playing his first IPL game for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Moeen Ali stood up in Sunil Narine’s absence to pick 2-23, while Varun Chakravarthy bounced back to take 2-17 as the defending champions restricted Rajasthan Royals (RR) to 151/9 in match six of IPL 2025 at the Barsapara Cricket Stadium on Wednesday.
Such was the brilliance of Narine and Chakaravarthy that KKR didn't even need Andre Russell’s services with the ball, as RR went from 67/1 to 82/5. It also didn’t help RR that their top-order fell to rash shot selection. It took Dhruv Jurel’s 33 off 28 balls and Jofra Archer’s cameo of 16 to take RR past 150.
Pushed into batting first, Jaiswal and Sanju Samson got off the mark with a boundary each in the opening over. With Spencer Johnson and Vaibhav Arora finding some swing, Samson struggled, while Jaiswal unveiled a straight drive and hook off the former to pick a four and six respectively.
