Rinku Singh strikes again! Arshdeep Singh bowls a full toss, which Rinku chases and flicks it to the right of deep backward square leg, resulting in a boundary. This heroic performance by Rinku helped Kolkata Knight Riders win yet another thrilling match.
There are some questions that even science cannot answer, like why we dream, whether we are alone in the universe, and why Harpreet Brar bowled just one over on a turning track after conceding only four runs.
In a thrilling match at the Eden Gardens, the hosts managed to secure a victory, although they were made to sweat. Andre Russell’s fantastic hitting and some questionable captaincy by Shikhar Dhawan helped KKR come out on top.
With a target of 180 to chase, KKR needed a strong start, but Rishi Dhawan and Nathan Ellis kept things tight in the beginning, with Ellis even picking up Gurbaz. Jason Roy played brilliantly and was taking the game away at one point, but he was caught out against Harpreet Brar.
Despite a tough pitch to bat on with spinners operating, Nitish Rana managed to score a fifty. KKR still had a long way to go, needing 51 off the last four overs. However, when Dhawan decided to bowl out Ellis, Russell took on the attack and got a 15-run over off him. He then hit Sam Curran for three sixes in the penultimate over, securing KKR’s victory.
