Chasing 175, KKR managed to score 161/9, setting up a title clash with the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on May 27.
Rashid Khan single-handedly ended SRH's four-match losing streak, scoring 34 from 10 balls. He also picked up three wickets in his designated four overs.
Having won the toss and electing to field first, the KKR bowlers never looked comfortable against a power-packed SRH batting line-up.
Openers Wriddhiman Saha (35) and Shikhar Dhawan (34) scored at a good pace for a 56-run opening stand. Shakib Al Hasan made a valuable contribution, lower down the order.
In response, KKR opener Chris Lynn (48) got off to a solid start, however, wasn't supported quite well by the rest of the team.
Shah Rukh Khan however posted a picture of himself smiling along with a message for team after they lost the match that read - "Well was not to be. Will have to cancel my flight but KKR well done. U did yourself proud. All of u so so well done. Love you & yes I am smiling. Thks for the entertainment & so many moments of glory. V r an awesome team!"
