Advance: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) are the only teams without points in the 2020 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) so far, having lost their opening matches to Mumbai Indians (MI) and Royal Challengers Bangalore ( RCB). ) respectively, and the next battle between the two teams in Abu Dhabi will consist of avoiding last place and accumulating the first points on the board.
SRH had come off a good comeback after young RCB starter Devdutt Padikkal produced a brilliant 56 of 42 as he started alongside Aaron Finch in his IPL debut. The Sunrisers continued to pick wickets at regular intervals after Padikkal’s impeachment, with the Virat Kohli skipper falling cheap to 14, although Villiers’ AB 51 gave them a boost in slog overs as they finished 163/5.
Despite losing David Warner early, Jonny Bairstow and No. 3 hitter Manish Pandey had things pretty under control with a solid 71-run position in the second wicket, but the ‘Orange Army’ lost the plot once the two they were sent back to the dugout. From 121/2, the Sunrisers collapsed to 153 for a 10-run loss.
The match between KKR and MI was even more one-sided, the latter extending its dominance over Dinesh Karthik’s side with a massive 49-run victory. After a hit with the bat in the opening game against CSK, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma returned to form with an 80 of 54 balls and his team finished in a competitive 195/5.
KKR, in response, lost windows of the word ‘go’, and barring the partnership between Karthik and Nitish Rana, they were never able to stabilize the boat during innings and produce a counterattack at some point that would put their opponents under pressure. Pressure. He took an AO from Jasprit Bumrah, who like Rohit also regained his rhythm in this game, to seal the game in IM’s favor when the pacemaker eliminated Andre Russell and Eoin Morgan in a space of a few deliveries.
The biggest talking point of the KKR-MI game was Pat Cummins’ inability to hit the ball. The Australian star racer, who was sold to the Knight Riders for a whopping 15.5 million rupees in the last player auction, did not even complete his quota of four overs as he was crushed by 49 runs.
Cummins, however, highlighted his batting ability later in the game when he broke four sixes in Bumrah’s final over in his 33-ball 12-ball cameo, and Captain Karthik came to his rescue after the game, saying a poor performance alone could not define him, indicating that the team leadership might be supporting him for a few more games.
