The two batsmen tried to lay a foundation for Sunrisers Hyderabad. They put on 50 runs for the second wicket.
The Kolkata Knight Riders fast bowler (centre) took three valuable wickets in the middle order to make Sunrisers struggle.
The Indian fast bowler also chipped in with two top-order wickets as Sunrisers failed to find useful momentum in its innings. It was restricted to 128 for 7 in its 20 overs.
Rainfall at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium threatened to wash out the Eliminator altogether, after Sunrisers' innings.
However, the rain relented to allow a six-over chase. Knight Riders captain Gautam Gambhir scored an unbeaten 32 in a chase of 48 that was completed in 5.2 overs.
