Speaking about the last game of the Knight Riders, after the top-order collapse, contributions from Shreyas Iyer (34 off 32) played a good knock that saved Knight Riders from a paltry total. Their batters failed to convert good starts into big scores, thereby leaving very less to defend for the bowlers. Speaking about the bowlers, Vaibhav Arora (4-0-28-2) bowled excellently which helped the visitors delay the victory for CSK and drag the game to 18th over. The Knight Riders will hope all these continue their good form and also get back to winning ways by emulating the team performance from the first three matches.
Meanwhile, LSG last tied against Delhi Capitals and ended up losing the game, as Rishabh Pant’s men crossed over the line convincingly with 11 balls to spare. Ayush Badoni (55* off 35) and skipper Rahul (39 off 22) played handy knocks, but a stellar show from the Capitals meant that the Super Giants settled for a loss. As a result, KL Rahul & Co will have to regain confidence and step onto the field against KKR with a positive mindset to get back to winning momentum.
