Clinical KKR rout Sunrisers Hyderabad by 35 runs

Kolkata Knight Riders bounced back in the home leg in style by notching up a comprehensive 35-run victory over Sunrisers Hyderabad in the Indian Premier League (IPL) cricket.Defending a fighting total of 167, KKR were given a rollicking start by their speedster Umesh Yadav, who castled dangerman David Warner (4) and Naman Ojha (0) in the first over, and the visitors failed to recover from the double blow to finish at 132 for nine.The KKR spin duo of Brad Hogg (2/17) and Piyush Chawla (1/16) tightened the noose further around SRH, handing them their third defeat in as many outings at the Eden Gardens.While their top batsmen failed to impress, Moises Henriques (41 from 33 balls) and Karn Sharma (32 from 20) put up a fight, but it proved to be too late, too little for Sunrisers.Kolkata Knight Riders player Robin Uthappa run outs Sunrisers Hyderabad player Bipul Sharma during match 38 of the Pepsi IPL 2015 (Indian Premier League) between The Kolkata Knight Riders and The Sunrisers Hyderabad held at Eden Gardens Stadium in Kolkata, India
