KKR won the toss and elected to bowl first. At one stage, SRH were struggling with 138 runs on the board losing seven wickets in the 19th over.

In the same over, Rashid Khan (four runs in two balls) charged down and played the back of the length delivery ball from Shivam Mavi towards sweeper cover where Piyush Chawla completely misjudged the ball. He not only dropped the catch but also parried the ball over the boundary line.

Then, the Afghan sensation blasted 34 runs in just 10 balls which helped SRH to post a challenging total of 174-7 in 20 overs.

KKR managed to score 160-9 in 20 overs and lost the match by 14 runs. Rashid also shined with the ball (4-0-19-3) and took two crucial catches in the match.

The catch which was dropped by Chawla in the first innings ruined the dreams of KKR to reach the final of IPL 2018.
