Xtra Time Web Desk : Kolkata Knight Riders owner Shah Rukh Khan on Monday praised his team for their herculean fight against in form Rajasthan Royals which they ultimately ended up losing by 7 runs.

The match which saw Shreyas Iyer score a scintillating 85 to take his team agonisingly close to the humongous target also saw a brilliant 4 wicket 17th over by Yuzvendra Chahal which included a hat-trick as well.

Talking about the effort of the Knights, King Khan took to his Twitter to write, "Well played boys. Stupendous effort by @ShreyasIyer15 @AaronFinch5 @y_umesh congrats to #SunilNarine for the 150th match & @Bazmccullum for that innings 15 yrs ago. I know we lost but if we have to go down this is the only way to do it! Keep ur chins up…."

The latest loss against Sanju Samson's side have now placed the Knight Riders in a position of bother with only 3 wins out of their first 7 league matches.
