Chennai: in recent times Kolkata Knight RidersA lot of questions were raised about the death bowling of . Against Lucknow Super Giants, KKR had to lose a match they practically won mainly because of this death bowling failure. However, there was a drastic change in that category against Chennai Super Kings (CSK vs KKR). In the power play where CSK had scored 72 runs and crossed the century mark in 9.5 overs, KKR gave away 50 runs in the last five overs, while CSK also lost two wickets. Due to this good death bowling, the yellow brigade could not cross the two hundred mark.
Kartik Tyagi has to be credited for this great comeback of KKR. The young fast bowler gave the CSK batsmen a lot of trouble with his combination of pace, yorkers and slower pace balls. However, the team’s spinners started the fight back for KKR. Anukul Roy also bowled well in the power play. And as soon as the power play ended, Varun Chakraborty and Sunil Narine, Spinzal Bonen. The trio’s spin and Tyagi’s pace saw CSK’s innings halted at 192 for five.
KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane won the toss and decided to bowl first. The two CSK openers started well. But in his first over, Ruturaj returned Gaikwad and gave KKR their first success. After that, Akutobhoy Ayush started batting in a devastating mood, while Sanju was in form. CSK’s innings continued to move forward. Vaibhav Arora returned to Sajghar after scoring 38 runs off 17 balls in the last ball of the power play.
But still Sanju Samson was present at the crease. After the century in the last match, he was moving towards the half-century. But Karthik Tyagi stopped Samson on 48 runs with a fiery pace ball. After that Brevis and Sarfraz Khan took the innings forward. It was at this time that Varun, Sunil Narine began to press the runs, taking wickets at regular intervals. This reduced the speed of the run. Finally, CSK’s innings stopped at 192 runs for five wickets.
In terms of runs it is not less, but in terms of life for CSK, the way Sanju Samson was batting in the powerplay, then this run is much less than the possible run at that time. Let’s see now KKRAre the batsmen able to score this run and give the team their first victory?
