Kolkata Knight riders on Thursday, April 3, smoked Sunrisers Hyderabad in Eden Gardens. Ajinkya Rahane’s side got the playground that she wanted from Sujan Mukherjee, and showed her full strength because the champions defeated 2024 finalists by 80 runs.
In a slow Turner in Calcutta, he saw their hopes for victory in the match after the abysmal performances in both half of the game.

The high set of TRAVISE ABHISHEK SHARMA and Ishan Kishan failed because SRH was reduced to 9/3 in the first three breaks. From there, the visiting party saw their hopes to slip, one ball after a second, when the pitch of Calcuta shows controlled performance throughout the match of the match.
Perhaps the tragic part was that Eden Gardens was not even half -filled at night, allegedly due to a multiple increase in ticket prices.
Bowling performance you remember
Ajinkya Rahane and Krk have a public spit with curator Eden Pitch Sujan Mukherjee after they lost the first game. Rahane wanted a slow tourner, more suitable for the strength of the team. It was a game that KRKR needed to prove that their demand for a kind of playground was right, and boy, yes.
Harshit Rana and Vibhav Arara, Pace Pace Pace Pairing Krk from last season, destroyed SRH batting in the first 3 breaks, drew false shots and edges. The slight movement of the seam was enough to move the dough SRH, which did not understand the nature of the playground.
Travis Head, Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan tried to go hard on the ball and eventually throw the goals.
After the duo was finished, Rahane attacked SRH with Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine and 14. He ended 7 of his overs. The duo gave only 49 runs in return for Kaminda Mendis (27 out of 20) and Anoket Verma (6 off 6) goals.
Bowlery KKR was well supported by their field unit, which refused to drop the chances of the field. Only Andre Russell dropped a difficult chance from Kaminda, but replaced it by released Nitish Kumar Reddy.
Captain Rahane-Top Angkrish Shine
Tactically there were several differences between the two teams. SRH bowed to shorter lengths, while the kr was not afraid to stand up fully. Only one SRH Spinner bowed his full overs quota while the Kr has hastily passed Narine and Varun.
But maybe there was the main difference in their approach with the bat. Both KKR and SRH were on the last iPL. But in this match, KKR has adapted to the conditions much better. They knew it was a kind of playground where the dough couldn’t hit Ball One shots. After two early goals Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanki dug their nails into the goal.
The first half of the match was navigated by hitting the shots against the balls that were either too short or too full. They left the supplies themselves, which were in the length between the length they clenched on the surface and deceived the dough.
The duo added 81 runs in 51 balls and prepared a stage for the middle order to show their affected reach.
Rahane hit 38 out of 27 while Angkrish made sure he had reached his fifty. From there it was just fire from the big shots from Venkates Iyer (60 out of 29) and Rink Singh (32* OFF 17), which made sure that the KKR set a mega on Thursday.
Pat cummins poor with tactics, SRH poor in the field
From the very beginning, the visiting team looked down and out, missing simple chances in the field. Multiple Misfields SRH and dropped catches led to the fact that SRH could not redirect any type of pressure on the krko launch assembly. When the backup field was assembled, the confidence on the side was constantly hit by hits and was completely lowered to 13-14. above the game. Bowles maintained bowling ranks full of throwing and short vans from there and got all over the park.
Pat cummins also probably had one of his worst days as a captain. Although Kamindu Mendis gave only 4 runs in his goals, the two -sided spinner did not get in the game. Cummins spoke after the match and explained his decision not to go on a day more than 3 rotations.
“Overall, bowling was not bad, they detonated well.
While Cummins and SRH fall in depth early, the kr is rising from their hammer against the Indians in Mumbai in a strong style. 80-Run defeat was the largest SRH in the history of IPL (according to running). The Ajinkya Rahane party would be very satisfied with the result when they are preparing for their third match at home, which will be played on April 8 against Lucknow Super Giants.
