However, captain Nitish Rana stepped up and smashed Umran Malik for 28 runs in an over and injected some much-needed impetus into Kolkata's innings.While the likes of Sunil Narine and Andre Russell disappointed once again with the bat, Rana was supported by Rinku Singh. Both left-handers found boundaries at regular intervals and kept KKR in the chase.When Rana smashed a delivery straight into the hands of the fielder at deep cover, it seemed like that was the game for SRH. But Rinku continued to play his shots and the fact that fans kept on believing it was possible is a testament to his growing stature as a reliable finisher.Kolkata Knight Riders: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), N Jagadeesan, Nitish Rana (c), Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Shardul Thakur, Suyash Sharma, Lockie Ferguson, Umesh Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy.Sunrisers Hyderabad: Mayank Agarwal, Abhishek Sharma, Harry Brook, Rahul Tripathi, Aiden Markram (c), Heinrich Klaasen (wk), Marco Jansen, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mayank Markande, Umran Malik, T Natarajan.
