If RR are to be beaten by CSK, LSG will finish in the top 2.
Quinton De Kock is adjudged the player of the match for his outstanding innings.
Rinku Singh, Shreyas Iyer, Sam Billings, Nitish Rana and Sunil Narine did their best they could have but, it was not enough. A narrow narrow loss for KKR tonight means they will play no further part in Tata IPL 2022.
2 run victory for KL Rahul and Co. Their focus now shifts towards the game vs RR and CSK.
LSG outclassed the KKR bowlers and the LSG bowlers did just enough to help restrict KKR.
A commendable effort from the men in purple but, they are just not able to get over the line. A heartbreaking defeat.
That’s it for KKR in the Tata IPL 2022.

KKR also need DC and RCB to lose their next match, if they are to play further part in the tournament.
Currently, KKR are in the 6th spot in the IPL standings, level on points with Punjab Kings and SunRisers Hyderabad. The two teams face each other, so all KKR can hope is to have a better run-rate than the winning team.
KKR need to win tonight and hope that the teams around them lose their final game, in order to qualify for the playoffs.
