Russell special powers KKR early winner

Dr. Dre kills an SSR counter

The reputation of Sunrisers Hyderabad's famous bowling game was tainted by the hands of Andre Russell, who scored four goals and three to four, and led the Kolkata Knight Riders to a six-yard victory in their tournament. first meeting with IPL 2019.

KKR needed 53 points in the last three points with Russell hitting 9 out of 7 balls, already troubled by variations of Bhuvneshwar Kumar – yorker, a slower and a mix of both outside the stump. The 17th on top gave only 6 points, but when he played his next goal, Russell hit for 21 and brought the equation back to 13th. Shubhman Gill hit two long six points in Shakib Al Hasan's final match to help KKR revise the total with 1 ball to spare.

While his badault lasted only two pbades, Russell was able to score 49 in the 19th.

David Warner … like he's never gone

IPL was to be David Warner's toughest challenge since the international exile last March. Despite the ruggedness with which he came to the competition, he showed no sign in the opening match, stroking his way to his 37th IPL fifty-year-old – more than any other player in the tournament. In what was a quintessence of Warner, the blow, the cuts, the pulls and the muscle were all exposed in a stroke of fluid dominance. He laid the base of Sunrisers' innings with 53-ball 85, a shot that included 9 limits and 3 six, before leading a full delivery of Andre Russell to Robin Uthappa's extra cover.

The confidence he gained at that time was decisive when Sunrisers came out to defend his total, and Warner – the former captain – was busy setting the field at different times of the game.

The unforgettable day of DK

It was not the best day for the skipper of Kolkata Knight Riders. It all started with a terrible record in the 19th round of the heats when Piyush Chawla disgusted the goal that led Warner to score. What was clear on television, the referee on the field and the technology – that the ball had been thrown out of the legstump – was not in line with what the pitcher and Karthik thought. But that should not be the only mistake of the KKR skipper's day. He dropped Warner twice behind the stumps – in 7th place when he hit 38th and 12th at 68. Add a misfield, confusion during the race and a 2-on-4 return with the bat at mix, a perfect case why his chances as the second goalkeeper of India have just taken a dive!

The beginnings of Bairstow in IPL

The English goalkeeper, chosen ahead of two local glovemen – Wriddhiman Saha and Sreevats Goswami – has reputation on the reputation, but his record in India against the spin is not the most impressive. However, at Eden Gardens – the fastest and richest runway in India in recent years – Bairstow has been seen to offer the best opportunity to present an exhibition of its destructive powers. However, he struggled for most of his stay, sometimes beaten and often irritable. Nevertheless, throughout his 35-ball 39 course, he stitched a record opening support for SRH against KKR, adding 118 with Warner.

Late acceleration continues to disrupt SRH

There have been a few constants for Sunrisers Hyderabad in recent years: maximum control reliability and exceptional bowling performance. What has not been their ally is the lower order strike. Today, despite a strengthened average order, the situation was no different and, barring Russell's badault, was the main reason for SRH's tight defeat. When Warner fell to 16th place, the Sunrisers Hyderabad were well placed at 144. With eight wickets in hand and a multitude of big hitters to follow, the visitors could have been aiming for a total of over 190. However, while Vijay Shankar concocted a couple of six goals and bounds in his 40 balls in 24, Yusuf Pathan and Manish Pandey fought a burst of slower balls from Andre Russell, Prasidh Krishna and Lockie Ferguson. The duo added that it has added only one run of nine while SRH finished 181st in 3.

The last surprise of KKR

After a successful experience with Sunil Narine at the top for two seasons, KKR decided to make another surprise change at the top – by promoting Nitish Rana to open the heats with Chris Lynn. While Lynn was fighting early against the rotation, Robin Uthappa was again eliminated in the 30s and Karthik did not leave an impact, Rana took advantage of the opportunity and cashed 68 balls of 47. He did well. paced his sleeves, countering both rhythm and effects with ease. Although KKR struggled to keep pace until the 17th lap, with only 70 in the top 10, Rana remained a solid constant and the second biggest reason for his success.
