GT’s Vijay Shankar hits a six against KKR at Eden Gardens on Saturday

David Miller and Vijay Shankar completed the unfinished job as the Gujarat Titans went past Kolkata Knight Riders’ (KKR) 179-7 with seven wickets and 13 balls to spare at the Eden Gardens here on Saturday. Shankar remained unbeaten on 24-ball 51 that had five sixes and a couple of boundaries while the South African was not out on 32. 

The victory took the Titans to the top of the table, while KKR were consigned to their sixth loss and a near-impossible task in IPL-16.
