Kolkata: The Kolkata Knight Riders registered their second successive victory over Rajasthan Royals, winning by eight wickets with more than six overs to spare in match 17 of IPL-4 at the Eden Gardens on Sunday.Earlier, Gautam Gambhir and Manoj Tiwary took control of the Kolkata innings after the loss of Manvinder Bisla.Kolkata were dealt an early blow when they lost Jacques Kallis as they chased 82 for victory after the Royals lost five wickets for three runs to be bowled out for 81.Ross Taylor was dismissed by Yusuf Pathan as Rajasthan Royals lost half their side.Quick wickets including that of the dangerous Shane Watson gave Kolkata Knight Riders a dream after their skipper Gautam Gambhir won the toss and elected to field.The wicketkeeper Manvinder Bisla got in the act next to play his part in removing Ross Taylor in the 11th over. Taylor had overbalanced out of his crease, trying to flick a wide delivery down the leg side but Bisla reacted quickly to whip off the bails.It was then the turn of Shakib Al Hasan to leave his imprint on the game. He reacted quickly at midwicket to fire an accurate throw at the striker's end to run out Abhishek Raut. Later, after Balaji had taken out Rahane and Menaria, Shakib took wickets off successive deliveries in the 15th over to hasten the end. Two arm-balls, with varying pace, took out Amit Singh and Shaun Tait for ducks, before Brett Lee rearranged Siddharth Trivedi's stumps to give Kolkata a perfect finish.The chase wasn't a stroll, though. Jacques Kallis fell for a second-ball duck, top edging a lifter from Shaun Tait, and Manvinder Bisla fell to Shane Warne after a scratchy knock but Gautam Gambhir stayed till the end to finish the job.
