Kkr vs srh score 1st innings: Kolkata Knight Riders have scored 200 runs while playing first. KKR ended the innings in a stormy style after a very slow start.

Venkatesh Iyer scored 60 runs in a fierce manner, while Rinku Singh also returned unbeaten after scoring 32 runs. Angkrish Raghuvanshi also put a fifty.

The start for Kolkata Knight Riders was quite poor. Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine had returned to the pavilion till the score of 16.
