Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Ajinkya Rahane on Sunday lavished praise on his bowling unit for its consistency over the last few games, crediting it for restricting Sunrisers Hyderabad to a below-par total and setting up the seven-wicket win in an IPL match here.

Varun Chakravarthy (3-36) and milestone man Sunil Narine (2-31) played key roles in bowling out SRH for 165 in 19 overs as KKR chased down the target with 10 balls to spare to register their third successive win.
