What's the story

Kolkata Knight Riders beat Rajasthan Royals in match number 21 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 season.

RR couldn't quite get the desired runs at home and managed a paltry score of 139/3.

Steve Smith played a lone hand (73*).

KKR openers Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine then stole the show after scoring rapidly.

Here are the records broken.
