Chasing a target of 112, KKR were cruising at 62/2 with less than half of the runs required and two set batters Ajnikya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi at the crease. The writing was on the wall for PBKS, but Yuzvendra Chahal had other plans.
The leg spin grandmaster, as he is famously known, spun a web for the Kolkata Knight Riders‘ batter as they were outfoxed by some intelligent bowling from IPL’s highest wicket-taker, as the leg spinner ended up with four wickets to guide PBKS to a memorable win.
Both teams will look to register a win in the upcoming game, where they will take on each other at the home ground of the Kolkata Knight Riders, i.e., the Eden Gardens.
