Gradle Sync Failure after updating to version '4.10.1'/'4.10.2'

I found that the kotlin plugin was not checked under Settings / Plugins / Installed. Checking it and restarting the IDE solved the problem, without having to change Gradle version.

Following steps helps me -

1. Change the gradle version to 5.2.1

2. Upgrading the Kotlin plugin and restart Android Studio.
