QUINTON de Kock’s 97 not out led Kolkata Knight Riders to a comfortable eight-wicket victory over Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.
Chasing 152, De Kock batted throughout, timing the ball well on a slow pitch to hit eight fours and six sixes in his 61 balls.
He went on after former England all-rounder and fellow opener Moeen Ali was run out for five from 12 balls.

England quick, Jofra Archer, who conceded the worst figures in IPL history in the Royals opening-game defeat, started better in an opening two-over spell of 0-15.
But Archer returned with only 17 needed from 18 balls and De Kock struck a four and two sixes to secure victory with 15 balls to spare. Archer finished with 0-33 from 2.3 overs.
He had earlier struck two late sixes in the Royals’ 151-9 – a score that always looked below par.

They lost regular wickets – Dhruv Jurel the top-scorer with 33 – and struggled to score against KKR’s spinners.
India international Varun Chakravarthy took 2-17 while Moeen returned figures of 2-23 on his KKR debut.

After defeat in their opening game, KKR earned their first victory of the season but the Royals remain winless.(BBC Sport)
