KKR at the TOP of IPL4
After an easy win over Deccan Chargers at Hyderabad on May 3, Kolkata Knight Riders is sharing with Mumbai Indians the top most position of the score table of IPL season 4. In the score of 169 runs in 20 overs the major contribution was by the fierce batsman Yusuf Pathan who piled up 47 runs. The fielding by Captain Kumar Sangakkara and his boys of Deccan Chargers failed to cut short the aggressive batting by Yusuf Pathan and others.
Deccan Chargers suffered severe set back in the 6th over when both Iqbal Abdulla and Kumar Sangakkara were dismissed. At the end of the 6th over they were at 41 for two wickets.
The medium pace bowler of KKR, Rajat Bhatia gave another stunning blow to Chargers by claiming two wickets in the same over and thereby sending back Cameron White and Daniel Christian of DC. Shikhar Dhawan of Deccan Chargers had an impressive score of 54 runs.
According to the bowler of KKR, Brett Lee, their victory over Rajasthan Royals was a great achievement. Rajasthan Royals were all set to retaliate their defeat in the previous match against KKR and moreover the slow wicket of Eden Gardens, Kolkata made the game really difficult. According to Lee the positive attitude of the team members and their desciplined approach in all aspects enabled the team to win the match.
Brett Lee conceded that Balaji really deserved to be the Man of the Match for his marvellous bowling. He claimed the wicket of Shane Watson who was in a terrific form and that mainly paved the way for the defeat of RR. But for the early dismissal of Jacquous Kallis the batting by Knight Riders was highly impressive. Gautam Gambhir was also in a very aggressive form.
