Nitish Rana handled the innings for a while and scored 26 runs. He hit 6 fours during his innings. Captain Dinesh Karthik was also unable to open the account and got LBW on the Rashid Khan bowl.

Manish Pandey scored (51) from Hyderabad. Apart from this, captain David Warner scored 36 runs and Saha scored 30 runs. Only 5 runs were scored by Johnny Bairstow. Nabi (11) and Abhishek (2) were not out. The KKR bowlers bowled brilliantly. Pat Cummins, Varun Chakravarthy and Andre Russell took 1–1 wicket.

Nagarkoti could not take a wicket in his first match

Rajasthan fast bowler Kamlesh Nagarkoti caused a stir at the 2018 Under-19 World Cup. He threw the ball at 145km/ h. He became a fan of the great West Indies fast bowler Ian Bishop. After this, KKR bought him for IPL for Rs 3.2 crore in 2018, but he did not play due to injury. However, KKR retained him. In the 2019 season, he was ruled out due to a back injury. This time he made his debut. However, he could not get a wicket in this match.
