IPL 2021, RR vs KKR Match Highlights: Morris-Samson shine as RR beat KKR by 6 wickets

Well done @rajasthanroyals for winning this game convincingly. Bowling was top notch from Morris and Chetan. Kkr needs to regroup quickly before it’s too late.They have a better team on paper.

Well played, Yashasvi Jaiswal!

Seems to have found a higher gear this season. Hope this is a big season for both him, Ravi Bishnoi & Kartik Tyagi(when he plays), the class of 2020! 👍👍

Jaiswal with those pads and batting style looks like Ganguly's style 😂

Mavi gets Jaiswal this time.

The opener has to depart for 22 after being caught at deep cover. Dube now joins Samson. #RR are 41-2 after 5 overs.

Straight in and out!

Jaiswal had dropped Shubman earlier and now Shubman fails to hold on to a catch at point in the 1st over. Mavi misses out on a wicket, Jaiswal survives.

A Pat Cummins bouncer has struck Buttler on the side of the helmet. The physio is out and it has been decided that Buttler will continue to bat.

— Rajasthan Royals (@rajasthanroyals)

Kolkata Knight Riders should go back to sunil Narine as an opener instead of @NitishRana_27. Please try to win matches Guys or else hand over captaincy to @DineshKarthik
Drop @Eoin16 @iamsrk @KKRiders @Bazmccullum 🙏

— RAVITEJA (@shivamteja)

Sunil Narine at 4 could be a miss or go. Either he should open or come at number 3 when an early wicket falls if KKR really want to get the most out of him. No point sending him at 4 especially once the powerplay is done. #RRvKKR

— Rahul Sharma (@CricFnatic)

Honestly, Tripathi is the only guy in the team who is delightful to look at. Intent with the bat, quick in the field. Everyone else has been painful to watch. Russ Narine and Varun cant run. Morgan has forgotten how to spend time in the middle, forget batting.

— Saahil (@saahilspeaking)

Getting Morgan run out so that he'll be dropped and be replaced by a captain who'll make him open again. Masterstroke from Rahul Tripathi.

Rahul Tripathi has to open, i don't care in place of Gill or Rana but has to open.

And Gill isn't Kohli Dhoni that he can't be drop.

— Andy. (@WeBleedBlue007)

Open with Tripathi and he would never be doing this.

— Static_357 (@Static_a357)

Pairing Tripathi and Rana would make any difference?
