KKR defeats Kings XI Punjab by nine wkts

Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Kings XI Punjab by nine wickets in an IPL match in Cuttack on Sunday. Skipper Gautam Gambhir again led by example with a match-winning half-century as Kolkata Knight Riders remained in contention for play-off berth with a comprehensive nine-wicket win over table toppers Kings XI Punjab in an IPL encounter, here today. Chasing a modest target of 150 on a feather bed, Gambhir anchored the chase to perfection with a well-crafted unbeaten 65 after Robin Uthappa provided the momentum with a 28-ball-46. Such was their domination that the match ended with two overs to spare.
