Pacer Tyagi back into the attack after a long chat with coach Abhishek Nayar in the Strategic Timeout.
Shimron Hetmyer misses the pull shot and is hit on the pads to collect a leg bye. Parag drives the third ball to the fielder on the off-side before he pulls the next for another run.
Hetmyer under edges the slower bouncer to the wicketkeeper before he swats a full toss wide of long-on for two runs.
Chakravarthy continues his wicket ways. Parag attempts a big heave across the line but misses and is struck on the pads. KKR take the review but it is going down to miss the leg stump.
Parag then reverse sweeps Chakravarthy over the fielder at short thirdman for a four, the first boundary for Royals after 29 balls.
However, Chakravarthy gets revenge next ball as Parag goes for the big slog over midwicket but misses the ball completely and is bowled for 12.
Superb bowling from Chakravarthy as he registers excellent figures of 3/14 in four overs. He single-handedly brought KKR back into the game with regular wickets as Royals are reduced to 118/4 in 15 overs.
