KKR Vs GT Live Score, IPL 2026: Siraj Brings Up 200 T20 Wickets, Sends Rahane Packing

Dropped! And that could prove costly.

Jason Holder goes short, Finn Allen goes for the pull but doesn’t time it well and ends up top-edging it straight down long-on’s throat. Siraj gets under it but puts it down, a straightforward chance spilled. Allen survives on 1.

Siraj keeps it tight after the milestone moment. 141.4kph on the money, Raghuvanshi uses soft hands to drop it towards cover-point and sneaks a quick single. Next ball, a touch slower at 137.9kph, same channel outside off, Raghuvanshi just nudges it straight to point, no run. Pressure still building here.

Siraj strikes and it’s a big one, Rahane is gone.

138.3kph, full and angling in, Rahane goes for the whip but plays with no real footwork. He completely misses the inward movement as the ball sneaks through the gap and crashes into the stumps, timber. That’s wicket number 200 in T20s for Mohammed Siraj, a landmark moment delivered in style. Rahane departs for 14, and this match just gets a fresh twist.

Finn Allen breaks the silence in style! Siraj pitches it full at 139.4kph, angling in, Allen gets a thick inside edge but it races away fine past short fine leg, four more on the board. Next ball, Siraj goes slightly wider at 137.9kph and pays the price again.

Allen stays tall, frees his arms, and absolutely flays it over backward point. Two bounces, into the fence, back-to-back boundaries and Allen is up and running.

We are underway as Ajinkya Rahane takes strike with Finn Allen at the other end. Mohammed Siraj has the new ball and is set to open the attack. Early intensity already building, fielders in position, crowd buzzing.

This is Kolkata Knight Riders’ 100th match at Eden Gardens, making them only the second team in IPL history to play 100 games at a single venue, after Royal Challengers Bengaluru at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
