Kolkata Knight Riders has become the first team in the history of the Indian Premier League to record more than 20 victories against three different teams after their resounding victory against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the current edition of the League rich in cash. Kolkata was held triumphant after having executed the plan to succeed against Sunrisers to perfection on their domestic lawn. The Knight Riders struck and silence the side led by Pat Cummins with a categorical success of 80 points. While KKR got their hands on the second victory of the season, the reigning champions became the first team to win more than 20 victories against three different teams.
Kolkata has 20 victories against Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. KKR has also been victorious 21 times against the kings of Punjab in the league rich in cash.
KKR’s domination started after the SRH skipper has brought them up. Their decision initially borne fruit after having returned Quinton de Kock and Sunil Narine to the locker room to a figure, reducing KKR to 16/2.
However, the impetus swung in favor of KKR after a rapid counterattack led by the skipper Ajinkya Rahane (38 in 27 balls, with four and four) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi (50 in 32 balls, with five four and two).
The Sunrisers temporarily rebounded after KKR lost both stars in a burst. Venkatesh Iyer (60 in 29 bullets, with seven four and three six) and Rinku Singh (32 * in 17 balls, with four limits and a six) gained weight on their shoulders and propelled KKR at 200/6 in their 20 Overs with a 91 -point stand for the fifth window.
The pursuit of 201 SRH of 201 was derailed in the PowerPlay after losing his first order in the PowerPlay. Vaibhav Arora (3/29) and Varun Chakravarthy (3/22) stood out, like only Heinrich Klaan (33 in 21 balls, with two four and two) and Kamindu Mendis (27 in 20 balls, with four and two) represented a threat to the Supremation of Kolkata.
With this victory, KKR’s campaign is somewhat back on the right track, with two victories and two defeats. They are in fifth place. The SRH are below with a victory and three defeats.
