KKR bowlers cripple Royals’ batting line-up

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR)ꦏ registered their second consecutive victory in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 after thumping over Rajasthan Royals by a massive 37 runs, on Wednesday (September 30).

Earlier in the match, Steve Smith won the toss and invited KKR to bat first. The franchise persisted with Sunil Narine at the top, despiteܫ some criticisms that arose after the Trinidadian failed in the first two games🐻.

To much dismay, Narine (15 off 14) once again failed to live up to the expectations, losing his wicket to Jaydev Unadkat in the fifth over.

Shubman Gill once again held the i🐻nnings from one🦩 end and scored a valuable 47 with the help of five fours and a six.

Andre Russell was promoted above the likes of Dinesh Karthik, Eoin Morgan and the Caribbean ess🌌ayed an explosive cameo of 🔯24 runs, which was laced with three towering sixes.

Morgan’s calculated 34 propelled KKR to a challenging total of 174/6 in twenty overs.

Chasing the target, the Royals couldn’t have imagined the worst possible start. Steve Smith fell prey to his compatriot Pat Cummins in the second over. It was inevitable considering the giddy approach Smith adopted to counter Cummins’ pace and hostility.

Sanju Samson finally had a bad game this season after winning back-to-back ‘Players of the Match’ award against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Kings XI Punjab (KXIP).

Jos Buttler (21 off 16) tried to hold the innings before a harmless, short-of-the-length delivery from Shivam Mavi got the𓆉 better out of him. Mavi conceded just twenty runs and picked up t𝔍wo wickets in his spell of four overs.

Kamlesh Nagarkoti struck twice in his very first over, sending Robin Uthappa and Riyan Parag back to the pavilion.

Kuldeep Yadav finally got his first wicket of the campaign in the form of Jaydev Unadkat.

In the end, 🍰RR could only post 137/9 in twenty overs, falling 37 runs short of🌟 the target to win their third consecutive match.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:

You always get one of these. will have to forget it happened. Far more interesting is the depth in the bowling that gives the captain so many choices. All they need now is for Kuldeep to have a couple of good games….

A Royal win for the Knig🅠ht Riders. Games in Dubai making it difficult for the batsman to score as easily unlike Sharjah.
