Kolkata 17-2 (3 ovs) vs Gujarat | Scorecard

Veteran Praveen Kumar opens the bowling for Gujarat Lions and up against him are the two successful openers for KKR -- Robin Uthappa and Gautam Gambhir.

Uthappa gets off the mark with a single from the last ball and Gambhir gets two off the next ball on the leg side and does it again off the next ball for the same result before he sees off the rest of the over.

Dhawal Kulkarni to bowl the second over. He beats Uthappa off successive with beautifully bowled outswingers driving the right-hander out. But Uthappa gets back as he drives the next two deliveries for boundaries through the covers.

Praveen makes the first breakthrough with the wicket of Gambhir, who is bowled down the leg side as the balls deflects off his thigh pads and on to the stumps.

Two balls later, Praveen claims the wicket of Manish Pandey, who is done in by the outswinger as he edges it behind to be caught behind for a duck.

Two quick wickets as KKR are reduced to 15 for two in the third over.

Suryakumar Yadav gets off the mark with two runs as he drives the last ball square to avoid a double wicket-maiden.
