Put in to bat, KKR found the going tough at their backyard and suffered their worst start of the season to be struggling at 55 for four inside 10 overs.

Their top four, Sunil Narine (0), Gautam Gambhir (24), Sheldon Jackson (10) and Yusuf Pathan (4) were all back in dugout midway into their innings.

Unadkat returned with excellent figures of 4-1-28-2, while 17-year-old Washington Sundar too was impressive in his 2/18 from two overs.

The duo of Manish Pandey (37 off 32) and Colin de Grandhomme (36 off 19) revived KKR innings with a 48-run fifth wicket partnership off 30 balls.

Kolkata Knight Riders' batsman Sheldon Jackson became the first batsman in the 10th edition of the Indian Premier League to be dismissed hit-wicket.

KKR's Jackson was dismissed by Rising Pune Supergiant bowler Washington Sundar during an IPL match at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday.

Sundar’s delivery forced Jackson to go back and he dislodged the bails with his foot in the process.

Rising Pune Supergiant rode on little-known Rahul Tripathi's career-best 93 of 52 balls to win, by four wickets, against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens and take giant strides towards the playoffs.

Tripathi was the only batsman from both sides to score a fifty as he scored 93 runs off just 52 balls as the Supergiant chased down the target of 156 runs in the last over.

Tripathi, who has been a revelation in the 10th edition of the cash-rich league, says he is trying to keep things simple in his debut season.

"I am just trying to middle the ball, this is all new for me (the big crowds), so I am just trying to concentrate on what I can do," said Tripathi after the match.

"Watch the ball, hit the ball is my way. I know there are areas I need to improve, but I am just doing what I can. I hit six sixes two times in an over recently. I am happy to be hitting the ball well and hopefully it continues," he added.

Tripathi, who is playing his first IPL, brought up his fifty in just 23 deliveries with eight fours and three sixes.
