The KKR vs GT clash was high scoring, making it a dream for batters and nightmare for the bowlers. Finn Allen dominated the GT bowlers to a great extent, which helped the team to end Gujarat's winning streak. It now gets challenging for GT to reach the top of the table.

‌The teams at the bottom of the table have started to dominate all of a sudden. From Mumbai Indians to Lucknow Super Giants and now Kolkata Knight Riders, all of them have defeated the teams which are close to the playoffs. Yesterday, it was Kolkata Knight Riders hosting Gujarat Titans, who were on a winning streak. 
Gujarat Titans decided to bowl first in this game and it turned out to be a bad decision. They were able to get the wicket of Ajinkya Rahane early. But Finn Allen and Angkrish Raghuvanshi made it challenging for the bowlers. As a result, the team went on to score a massive total of 247/2 in 20 overs for GT to chase, if they want a place in the playoffs. 
Gujarat Titans tried their level best but lost wickets in the death overs. Shubman Gill scored in the 80s, while Buttler and Sai Sudharsan smashed half-centuries. However, all of it went in vain, as Gujarat Titans ended up losing the game by 29 runs. 
Here's how Twitter reacted to Gujarat's winning streak coming to an end. 

Real Smashing

Finn Allen has done some real smashing of the GT bowlers in the last game. They would now be thinking how the best bowling line-up this season faltered to him. 

Comeback Knight Riders

Kolkata Knight Riders were being heavily trolled for not winning games at the start of the tournament. But now the team holds 5 wins in its last 6 matches this season. 

Picture Holds Emotions

Kolkata Knight Riders winning at the Eden Gardens would have been what the fans wanted. And a hug between Shane Watson and Abhishek Nayar is enough to show the emotions.
