KKRvsRCB: 5 reasons why RCB lost

#2 Karthik-Rana partnership

Rana and Karthik's partnership tilted the game in KKR's

favour

Karthik and Rana came together at the crease after the fall of Robin Uthappa in the eighth over.

With almost a hundred runs needed at that time, the game was firmly in the balance. Both of them stitched together a 55-run partnership and tilted the balance in KKR’s favour.

What was impressive to see was the composure they displayed at the crease. Both Rana and Karthik rotated the strike well and collected boundaries of the loose balls.

When Rana fell to Sundar, Kolkata needed an easily achievable 39 off 33 balls.
