Gaikwad hit Joseph for three sixes in his first over. But he came back well to finish with four overs 2-33.

In reply to mikesiva


Sunil Narine, right-arm off break, comes into the attack

Narine to Rajapaksa, FOUR, right on cue from Rajapaksa! He is a fearless batter

Narine to Rajapaksa, FOUR, Rajapaksa once again uses his feet, goes inside out over extra cover to find the fence once again.

Narine to Rajapaksa, SIX, this is brilliant batting! Rajapaksa is once again nimble on his feet as he lifts it down the ground for a maximum



PBKS 56/1 (6) CRR: 9.33

In reply to Windiesfan78



The most Narine conceded in a match in IPL 2022 was 34 runs, in KKR's second last game of the season. Today he has already conceded 36 runs with an over still left.

In reply to shivnotout

Ouch! Stick a fork in him

Shah Ruck Sack need to buy Motie and jettison Sunnybhai

In reply to Halliwell



I think KKR might have missed a trick by not opening with Sunil Narine. We know how explosive he can be, and with Gurbaz batting the way he was, Kolkata could have gotten off to a flier.



KKR 75/3 (8.5)

Kolkata Knight Riders need 117 runs in 67 balls

Kolkata Knight Riders need 74 runs in 36 balls

Russell does not get hold of the pull and holes out to deep mid-wicket. Raza takes it and Russell is aghast as he curses himself and walks off. Now the odds are against KKR.

Full and a hint of shape away from off - Shaw's feet went nowhere as he aimed at an expansive drive, gets a thick edge that flew to the keeper's right - it wasn't carrying to the lone slip, was wide of him as well, was travelling and Samson had to throw himself to his right, did so with his right mitss and the ball stuck, he did well to hold on even as he tumbled across

Rohit Sharma:
We would have bowled first too. It's a good pitch, always a good pitch to bat. Always something in it for the bowlers. We just have to play good cricket. We have been really well in the last few days, spoke about what went wrong in our last game in Bangalore, hopefully we can get the result tonight. Unfortunately we have got an injury, I would not call it an injury but it is just a precaution - Jofra is not playing, we have got the other guys. It is a great feeling to be back at the Wankhede. The crowds have always been loud, look forward to playing in front of our home crowd.

MS Dhoni:
We will bowl first. Think one of the most memorable venues not only the 2011 win but when we won in 2007, when we came back the reception we got was great. Generally got pace and bounce, you can play your shots We have a few injury concerns, Stokes has an injury, Mo is not available. Ajinkya and Pretorius are playing. These are the two changes we have made

Dhoni reviews for a caught behind. Wide signalled though. Was SKY walking off there? If Dhoni appeals, then more or less it is curtains for the batter. Let's see. Ball is close to both bat and glove. Clear spike and SKY is gone.

7.2
Santner to Suryakumar Yadav, out Caught by Dhoni!! Another failure for SKY. He was walking off when he saw the ump signal a wide and waited. MS though knew and reviewed it straightaway after his appeal for caught behind is turned down.\

A bit back of length and seams in late from outside off. Conway tries to cut it towards point but inside edges it onto leg stump. The Kiwi opener walks back without scoring.

Bhuvneshwar to Prabhsimran, out Lbw!! On the money straightaway! 127.6kph, seam-up ball that jags back in a bit off the deck from a short of a good length. Prabhsimran is rooted in his crease and doesn't accont for the inward movement as he looks to defend. Beaten on the inside edge and struck on the back leg adjacent to the sticks. The umpire's finger went up quickly and Prabhsimran didn't review it. Ball-tracking shows it to be clipping top of middle (umpire's call). Perfect start for Bhuvneshwar and

SRH! Prabhsimran lbw b Bhuvneshwar 0(1)

Marco Jansen to Short, out Lbw!! LBW appeal, umpire Bruce Oxenford raises his finger! Short has a word with his batting partner - Dhawan - and decides not to review. Only an inside edge could have saved him here. 140kph, full and swinging in, Short stays in his crease and tries to play an aerial drive. He didn't expect the ball to come in so much. Beaten comprehensively on the inside edge and he's trapped plumb in front.

Short lbw b Marco Jansen 1(3)

PBKS 10/2 (1.3) CRR: 6.67

3.5
Marco Jansen to Jitesh Sharma, out Caught by Markram!! Straight to mid-off! 140.2kph, length ball, Jitesh Sharma neither gets the required elevation nor does he get the placement right. Plays an uppish drive and it's catching practice for Markram at mid-off. After four dots, Jitesh was forced to take a risk and he perishes.
Jitesh Sharma c Markram b Marco Jansen 4(9) [4s-1]

8.5
Markande to Sam Curran, out Caught by Bhuvneshwar!! Superbly bowled, deceived Sam Curran who was charging down, bowled it slower and wider outside off, the googly as well, Curran swipes across the line and the thick outside-edge loops to short third man.

Sam Curran c Bhuvneshwar b Markande 22(15) [4s-3 6s-1]

Umran Malik to Raza, out Caught by Mayank!! Disappointing end for Raza once again. Did he not know that third man was fine? Good short ball, angling into Raza and always following him, Raza arches back and ramps it, but does not get the elevation to clear Mayank. The Impact sub too goes cheaply and SRH well on top.

Markande to Shahrukh Khan, out Lbw!! SRK is plumb LBW here but takes the review. He has a word with Dhawan and the skipper signals. What a lovely googly and SRK has no clue, the bat is miles from the ball as it comes down for the forward defence, the ball raps the pads and you don't get plumber LBWs than that. Hang on - it is just ump's call on clipping leg-stump, but that will do. The review is not lost as well. The googly spun and to the naked eye it looked to be crashing into the stumps.

Shahrukh Khan lbw b Markande 4(3) [4s-1]

Umran Malik to Harpreet Brar, out Bowled!! Knocked him over. 148kph length delivery angling into off and middle, zips off the deck, right through the forward defence of Harpreet Brar who left a tiny gap for the ball to burst through. Umran Malik punches the air in his trademark celebration.

Bhuvneshwar to Dhawan, no run, dropped by Bhuvneshwar. A low full-toss on the stumps, Dhawan punches it back, Bhuvneshwar can't hang on as it slips out

17.2
Umran Malik to Dhawan, SIX, six more. It's short of length outside off, Dhawan pulls and the top-edge carries to Bhuvi at fine-leg who does not judge it well, circles back and drops it, his momentum was taking him over, the ball falls out of the hands and outside the cushions
17.3
Umran Malik to Dhawan, FOUR, superb shot. Full outside off, in the slot, Dhawan just short-arm jabs the loft and easily clears mid-off, one bounce over the ropes

17.5
Umran Malik to Dhawan, SIX, 144.5kph, short on off, Dhawan is rushed but pulls and another top-edge carries over the fence, this time over deep backward square leg

18.4
Bhuvneshwar to Dhawan, FOUR, incredible wrists from Dhawan. So strong he is fitness-wise. Full and wide outside off, initially Dhawan was setting up for the scoop, then uses his wrists like a Hockey dragflicker and reverse-scoops between backward point and short third man. Sensational
18.3
Bhuvneshwar to Dhawan, FOUR, Dhawan keeps rocking. A back of a length delivery outside off, Dhawan opens the face of the bat and drives through point, in the air but in the gap and beats sweeper cover to his righ
18.2
Bhuvneshwar to Dhawan, no run, another drop by Bhuvneshwar? Yes it is. A low full-toss on the stumps, driven back and this went near shin-height to Bhuvneshwar who drops it off his own bowling

Arshdeep Singh to Harry Brook, out Bowled!! Arshdeep Singh has his arms aloft and stares at the batter. 117.6kph, knuckle ball, Harry Brook doesn't pick it and is way too early into his drive.

12.4
Karn Sharma to Pooran, SIX, nope, you can't bowl there Mister Karn. This was fired full on leg, Pooran with a very easy flick over deep square leg for six. Didn't even stretch all the muscles to get that beyond the ropes

13.1
Harshal Patel to Pooran, SIX, hits the deck hard on a length but straying down leg. Pooran shuffles it and gets some bat on the swing. Over fine leg and just over the ropes as well. Gets the full monty!

13.5
Harshal Patel to Pooran, FOUR, hard length with some width, Pooran tried to cut it away and gets an edge that takes the ball much finer. To the right of short third and for four

Kishan reacts in the same way he reacted to, when he was run-out due to Virat Kohli, recently in an ODI series. Taps this towards point, and Rohit calls for the single. Kishan wasn't interested in it, but just because it's a senior pro batting alongside him, he goes for the single. He has no other choice, does he? The throw comes in at the bowler's end and Lalit Yadav collects the ball and takes off the bails at his end. Kishan has to sacrifice his wicket once again.

Carrom ball and Rahane premeditated the sweep, the length was too full and he ended up playing all over it, struck low on the pad and right in front of the stumps.

Sam Curran to Mayers, SIX, up and over for six!! A classic Kyle Mayers shot as Curran gives his width outside off and bowls it shorter. Mayers arches his back and punches it over covers and all the way for six.

Harpreet Brar to Mayers, out Caught by Harpreet Singh!! Gone!! Harpreet Brar deserves this breakthrough. He kept Mayers quiet with a few dots balls, and this pushed a half tracker onto leg. Was there to be hit but Mayers gets it off the bottom of the bat on the pull and holes out to deep square leg. Nice low catch by the fielder running in from the fence.

Rabada to Pooran, out Caught by Shahrukh Khan!! A first-ball duck for Pooran,m that's the roll of the dice ges in the IPL. Was the hero at the Chinnswamy, but could he have taken some time on this challenging surface? On a length and just outside off - Pooran was looking to heave it to the shorter boundary - dragged it slightly high on the bat, plenty of elevation and no real distance. A sitter for Shahrukh as he got under it at deep mid-wicket - LSG losing their way slightly here.

Sam Curran to Stoinis, out Caught by Jitesh Sharma!! Appeal for a caught behind and PBKS have reviewed. Curran was very confident, wasn't given as a wide either, did it flick the glove on its way to the keeper? The bat is close to the glove - onto UltraEdge and there's a spike when the ball is right next to the glove - it's a clear spike and the decision has to be reversed, Stoinis is OUT.

Arshdeep Singh to Rahul, out Caught by (sub)Nathan Ellis!! .. and he strikes with the angle, was the knuckle ball, was bowled into the surface and cramped KL for room on the shovel - hit very high on the bat and lobs a simple catch to Ellis, who is stationed at long-on. Punkjab roaring back into the contest with timely wickets.

Rahul c (sub)Nathan Ellis b Arshdeep Singh 74(56) [4s-8 6s-1]

Sam Curran to Gowtham, out Caught by Raza!! The impact player has holed out to long-off, was bowled into the suface and was another slower ball - Gowtham was looking to force it away, hit low on the bat and spooned a dolly down to Raza at long-off - Punjab finishing on a high here.

Gowtham c Raza b Sam Curran 1(2)

19.4
Sam Curran to Yudhvir Singh, out Caught by Shahrukh Khan!! Another sharp catch at long-on and it's Shahrukh Khan once again. Was right in front of the ropes as he took the catch, he knew he was going to step onto the skirtings, lobs the ball up, goes over the ropes, comes back and then takes it on the rebound. But was his feet touching the rope as he completed the catch? The 3rd umpire is having several looks, he wants it to be zoomed and it's clear that he's not touched the rope - another wicket for Curran and he's on a hat-trick.

Yudhvir Singh to Atharva Taide, out Caught by Avesh Khan!! A duck on debut for Taide and Yudhvir Singh is chuffed to bits. Nerves playing on Atharva's mind here - short of a length and angling into the left-hander, Atharva swung across the line, is through with the shot early and the big top-edge goes all the way to third man - Avesh runs in and completes a simple catch.

An overambitious drive and Prabhsimran has lost his off-stump - on a good length and shaping back into the right-hander - Prabhsimran's fee hardly moved, he didn't account for rthe movement and then tried to drive it through cover. The ball goes right through the massive bat-pad gap and sends the opff-stump cartwheeing.

0.3
Boult to Saha, out Caught&Bowled!! Boult strikes early, again! Length delivery, swinging in on middle and leg, Saha is early to close his bat-face and gets a fat leading edge that goes a mile up in the air. Three fielders - point, keeper and mid-wicket - converge and all three go for the catch despite the keeper calling for it. There's a collision as well between the two. Samson fails to gather it because of that. But fortunately for him, the ball pops up and goes into the hands of Boult who was only watching and hoping for someone else to drop. Dramatic! [/b]

The fielder from the deep does well though as he fires in a flat throw at the bowler's end. Rashid tries to get back in, but the bowler whips off the bails in a flash. Rashid's bat was on the line, and he's run-out by a whisker.

The ball takes a leading edge at flies over third-man for a six. Given no ball by the umpire but challenged by Pandya, replays show Hetmyer was out his crease and the ball would have just ended below waist

200 seems to have become a par score. The substitute player rule is the obvious candidate but there may be more subtle tinkering going on.

One aspect but the pundits have proclaimed that there is a more attacking mindset at play this season.

Why did the umpire review that wide ball? That was a poor umpiring decision. He should have called a wide or out, if he thought there was an edge. He basically gave Mumbai a free review!

Arjun Tendulkar to Tripathi, wide, why did Menon go for the review still remains a question. Full and sprayed down leg, Tripathi attepmts the glance and there was an appeal from Kishan, then Arjun and Menon gestured to have heard something, has a chat with the square leg umpire and decides to send it upstairs. UltraEdge didn't spot anything and eventually it is called a wide. "Bit unusual," says Harsha Bhogle on air

Holder to Rahul, out Caught by Buttler!! This was coming. Holder is a class act with his slower ball. It's a 78m hit straight down the ground. So he bowled this juicy in the slot for KL to have a go. KL did go but toe-ended the shot. Straight to Buttler at long-on. That was a high risk shot on this not so easy pitch. RR finally have the wicket.

Ashwin to Hooda, out Caught by Hetmyer!! 97.8kph, Hooda perishes playing a big shot! Hooda gets down on one leg to slogsweep. Goes too hard and loses his shape. More height than distance as it's off the lower part of the bat. Hetmyer takes a good catch - runs to his left from deep square leg, keeps his eyes on the ball and holds onto it.

Good win Lucknow. Used the surface well. Second loss at a home ground for RR.

This wasn't expected but it's cricket as they say...great win anyway,I must say though, why is Pooran used so badly,surely at least a number 4 spot is better,he goes in after batsmen use up so many balls for very little.
Great win for LSG and Nicky Pooran.
