Chennai: No less than 200 runs have been defended in the current IPL, but no run is too low for Kolkata Knight Riders, at least the way the Knights are currently playing, it seems so. Dew filled field, multiple catch drops, atmosphere, luck in favor of Knights but batting in a decade old attitude is KKR’s death.
36 runs were scored in the power play, that too with the loss of two wickets. It was almost here that the future of the match was decided. Then, where the spinners were supposed to have trouble gripping the ball because of the dew, the two spinners from CSK really spoiled the KKR batters. Akil Hossain and Noor Amed picked up four wickets for 48 runs in eight overs. Seeing KKR’s batting in this match, many may confuse it with a Test match. The consequences are what they are. Durmush is a knight army in the hands of CSK. KKR lost the match by a huge margin of 32 runs. The team led by Ajinkya Rahane strengthened their hold at the bottom of the league table.
