KKR won by 81 runs at Eden. First win for Nitish Rana as KKR captain.

 Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) won their recent match against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) by a massive 81 runs at the iconic Eden Gardens stadium in Kolkata. This win is significant not only because of the margin of victory but also because it marked the first win for Nitish Rana as KKR captain.

Rana, who took over as captain in the absence of the injured Eoin Morgan, led his team to a comprehensive victory over RCB. KKR put up a mammoth total of 205 runs in their allotted 20 overs, with contributions from several batsmen, including Shubman Gill, Rahul Tripathi, and Andre Russell.

In response, RCB never looked comfortable and were eventually bowled out for just 124 runs. KKR's bowlers put in an excellent performance, with Varun Chakravarthy and Pat Cummins picking up three wickets each.

Rana's captaincy was praised by many after the match, with his decision-making and tactics being singled out for particular praise. His leadership skills were on full display as he marshaled his troops and made smart decisions throughout the match.

For Rana, this win as captain is a significant achievement. He has been a key player for KKR for several seasons now and has shown that he has what it takes to lead the team from the front. With Morgan still recovering from injury, Rana will likely continue to lead the team in the coming matches.

Overall, this win is a massive boost for KKR, who have struggled in the early stages of this year's IPL. It shows that the team has the talent and the ability to compete with the best teams in the tournament. With Rana leading from the front, KKR fans will be hoping that this is just the first of many victories to come.
