Kolkata Knight Riders trounced Rajasthan Royals by 86 runs in Sharjah on Thursday, with Shivam Mavi producing his best IPL statistics and Lockie Ferguson taking three wickets. RR were bowled out for 85 in 16.1 overs while chasing a mammoth 172-run mark. Mavi was the star of the show, taking four wickets in 3.1 overs. Ferguson grabbed three wickets, while Shakib Al Hasan and Varun Chakravarthy each took one.

Earlier, Shubman Gill smashed a 40-ball half-century to help Kolkata Knight Riders reach 171/4 in 20 overs, the best team total this season.

The final nail in the coffin is driven by Shivam Mavi. As KKR beat RR by 86 runs, he cleans up Rahul Tewatia for 44 runs to get his best IPL bowling stats of 4/3.1.

That's a complete misunderstanding. Tewatia appears to be attempting a slog sweep, but she has the upper hand. The ball landed safely in the square leg, but Sakariya was dismissed by Shakib, who was eager to send Tewatia on strike. After 15.3 overs, the RR is 85/9, with a target of 172.

WICKET! After breaking a class barrier, Jayadev Unadkat falls victim to Lockie Ferguson. The tail-ender attempted another massive shot but was intercepted by Shakib at deep cover. RR: 62/8 in 11.2 overs | 172 run target
