Match report


Jason Roy and Chris Woakes had front row seats as Chris Lynn and Gautam Gambhir shared a record opening stand to give Kolkata Knight Riders victory over Gujarat Lions.

Australia star Lynn and Indian veteran Gambhir made 184 without loss to claim a thrilling 10-wicket victory in Rajkot, the best in Indian Premier League history.

It was also the biggest chase with all 10 wickets in tact in all Twenty20 cricket, which relegated Roy and Woakes to minor contributions.

Surrey opener Roy made 14 from 12 balls opening for Gujarat, including three boundaries, while Warwickshire all-rounder Woakes sent down three wicketless overs for 35 for KKR.
