Just 7 runs, 7 runs from the final over. Andre Russell has been Kolkata Knight Riders’ stand out bowler. He concedes just 29 runs and picked up 2 wickets in his 4-over quota. Shreyas Iyer, batting on 88, did not get to face a single ball in the final over. Will it prove to be the difference between the two sides.
Shreyas Iyer reckons this is an above-par total in Sharjah. But nothing is guaranteed here.
He played a stunning knock of 88 from just 38 balls, smashing his fastest fifty in the IPL. Prithvi Shaw also played a blinder, hitting 66. He played smartly with his senior partners Shikhar Dhawan and Iyer.
Russell was on top of his game with his bowling but the other KKR bowlers leaked aplenty, as expected.
