 KKR (Kolkata Knight Riders) had to face the rain while playing their last match at home.  A prolonged rain resulted in a late toss.  Instead of 20 overs, the two teams played a 16 over match.  Although KKR won that match by performing brilliantly.  The Knight Brigade had reached the top of the points table.  Rained again against Gujarat Titans.  Not a single ball was played in that match organized in Ahmedabad.  In the end, both teams have to be satisfied with one point from the match.  However, with this one point, KKR entered the playoffs as the first team in the current IPL.  Later, Rajasthan Royals, Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore reached the playoffs.


 However, KKR did not suffer as the match was washed away due to rain.  They will enter the playoffs from the top of the points table.  However, the rain was disappointing for the opposition Rajasthan.  Sanju Samson's team dropped to third place in the points table due to not being able to win this match.  As a result, they did not have two chances to reach the final.  Hyderabad will get that opportunity as the second team in the points table.
