Eoin Morgan’s Kolkata Knight Riders kept alive their play-off hopes with a thumping 60-run victory over Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League.
The Royals, who have England’s Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Jos Buttler and Tom Curran in their squad, are now unable to reach the play-offs.
Kings XI Punjab’s play-off hopes were ended by a nine-wicket defeat by Chennai Super Kings earlier on Sunday.
Mumbai Indians are the only team to have secured a play-off spot.
The victory does not guarantee KKR a place in the play-offs, however a significant defeat for either Royal Challengers Bangalore or Delhi Capitals on Monday will mean Kolkata progress regardless of Sunrisers Hyderabad’s result on Tuesday.
