Kolkata Knight Riders opener Shubman Gill raised expectations of KKR fans only to drop them quickly after he ended his knock at 11 runs in the powerplay overs against Rajasthan Royals. The young batsman had received a big lifeline after he tried to shoot it big in the 4th over and was saved when RR's Yashasvi Jaiswal dropped his catch at sweeper cover. However, his glory was short-lived since he managed to get run out with Joss Buttler directly snapping his wicket and ending his knock at 11 off 19 balls in the subsequent over.

Brilliant from Jos Buttler, great direct throw from him to dismiss Shubman Gill. A great start by Rajasthan Royals. pic.twitter.com/gGJJDEMlqZ

Rahul Tripathi should be the ideal opener for KKR instead of Shubman Gill. KKR totally wasting him at No 3 and power play overs as well #ipl2021
