Match 35: KKR Vs RCB Post Analysis
King Kohli added one more century in his IPL Career
Many teams were there in IPL but Royal Challengers and Knight Riders were always be a special one. Yes, these teams only played in the first ever match of IPL. They only put a start for this successful tournament. Obviously Knight Riders used to take control over RCB in most of the matches they played. In that situation the table bottom team RCB takes KKR at their home ground Eden Garden. RCB fans know that they not going to play playoffs. But they doesnt want to finish again at the bottom of table. While kolkata seeking one more victory after the consecutive loss from the strong position in table.
Royal Challengers made a big change in their team, Mr.360 ABD didnt play due to injury. But he was replaced by another South African star Dale Steyn. RCB seeking a bowler like him. Anyway he is not going to put all the overs. But atleast those four overs RCB can control giving more runs. Parthiv and Kohli start to bat first. Parthiv gone for 11 runs from 11 balls by Narine. Akshadeep Nath came at no 3 fail to use that opportunity and gone for 13 runs. RCB were 59 runs for loss of 2 wickets at the end of 9th over. Then King Kohli and Moen Ali completely changed the game. Moen Ali started to playing like gayle and Kohli remembers his form in 2017. Both completely screwed Kuldeep Yadav and Prasid Krishna. Moen Ali gone for 66 runs from 28 balls with 5 boundaries and 6 sixes. Then Marcsus Stoinis came scored few boundaries and gave as his share. Kohli gone for 100 from 58 balls with 9 boundaries and 4 sixes at the last ball of the innings. Stoinis remains not out with 17 runs from 8 balls. Kuldeep and Prasid went most expensive with 59 runs and 52 runs respectively.
Knight Riders started to chase the target of 214 runs. Everyone will thought this score also wont be sufficient for RCB to defend because of their bowlers form. Their only hope is Steyn and Chahal. And the exact things happen what audience expected from KKR. They started their innings worst as like RCB. With 79 runs at the end of 12 overs they lost 4 wickets. Narine, Lynn, Gill & Karthik. On one end Nithish Rana trying to save his team by scoring boundaries then Russell came to bat. Royal Challengers bowled as like they did in other matches. Once again Russell smashed all RCB bowlers. Especially their big hope Chahal. Chahal give 45 runs in just 3 overs. Kohli stopped him giving overs. Almost Russel and Rana reached the target. Kohli dont know what to do. KKR need 24 runs from last over its easy for them because they have russell and Fast bowlers quota over for RCB. Chahal bowled only 3 overs. But Kohli doesnt want to take risk and gave the ball to Moen Ali. But KKR managed to score only 13 runs in that over and lost the match by 10 runs. Russell was run out by Virat Kohli when he was 65 runs from 25 balls with 2 boundaries and 9 sixes. When Kohli run out him he spoked some unwanted words against russell and got recorded. Kohli lost his temper on that point. This is not fair Kohli. Nitish Rana superb knock got wasted he remains not out with 85 runs from 46 balls with 9 boundaries and 5 sixes.
Russell and Rana scored 118 runs from just 48 balls. In Knight Riders innings Uthappa scored 9 runs from 20 balls. If he saved 10 balls from what he faced. Definitely Knight Riders will be the winner of that match. Anyway Kohli and team finally registered their second win in this season. In next match they are facing CSK at Bengaluru. Now KKR situation is too pity they having only 8 points from 9 matches. They have to win all the remaining matches. Then only 18 points will come. If one match they lose their playoff probability based on net run rate only.
