Earlier, KKR’s chase was arrange by a 40-ball 83 by impression participant Venkatesh Iyer, who placed on a 100-run stand third-wicket stand with skipper Nitish Rana, who made 45.

Iyer, who got here on rather than Suyash Sharma underneath the brand new impression participant rule, fell to Alzarri Joseph and Rashid quickly took over to assert his first Indian Premier League hat-trick within the seventeenth over.

Rashid, a champion leg-spinner who now has 4 hat-tricks in T20 cricket, went for a celebratory dash after sending again Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Shardul Thakur.

But little did Rashid know Rinku and KKR would have the final chuckle.

After two straight wins, two-time champions Kolkata took second spot within the 10-team desk, behind leaders Rajasthan Royals.

It was a primary defeat of the season for Gujarat, who gained the league of their debut marketing campaign final yr.

Earlier, GT’s Vijay Shankar smashed 5 sixes in his 24-ball 63 as Gujarat took 45 runs from the ultimate two overs to achieve 204-4.
