IPL 2018, RCB vs KKR: 5 talking points

#3 The KKR batsmen supported Lynn brilliantly

Uthappa smashed a 21-ball 36

Lynn batted brilliantly today but most of his fellow teammates supported him well during the chase.

Narine assisted him well during the beginning of the innings as he scored 27 from 19 balls and stitched an opening stand of 59 with him.

Uthappa was also brilliant. The 2014 Orange Cap winner scored 36 from just 21 balls, smashing three fours and as many sixes.

Nitish Rana also supported Lynn well before retiring hurt. Dinesh Karthik gave Lynn some brilliant assistance during the final overs by doing some crucial eleventh-hour pinch hitting.

The way Lynn's teammates supported him on the crease, he did not have to worry much about the required run rate.
