Captain Eoin Morgan powered Kolkata Knight Riders to secure a massive 60-run win over the Rajasthan Royals in Dubai on Sunday.

He smashed 68 runs off 35 deliveries, turning the highest run-scorer, with an innings that comprised of five boundaries and six sixes. 

It helped KKR secure 191/7 in 20 overs.

Despite starting the chase on a strong note, the Rajasthan batsmen crumbled, eventually scoring just 131 runs for the loss of nine wickets.

The win has helped KKR move from the bottom ranks of the IPL 2020 points table to the fourth position.

It also boosts their hopes of finding a place in the play-offs, but that'll depend on a significant defeat for either Royal Challengers Bangalore or Delhi Capitals on Monday.
