MUMBAI: Chris Morris' four-wicket burst in the death overs and skipper Sanju Samson's measured innings gave Rajasthan Royals a much needed win over Kolkata Knight Riders in the IPL on Saturday.
Royals pacers, who were smart with their change of pace, restricted KKR to 133 for nine after Samson opted to bowl first.
