Another game, another collapse, and another loss for Kolkata Knight Riders. The last year runner up’s put on another disappointing performance against Gujarat Titans. Nothing went well for KKR except for Andre Russell and Rinku Singh’s performances. The top order failed, the middle order failed, and the game was lost.
Although Andre Russell kept KKR in the chase with his lusty blows, KKR could only blame themselves for the loss. Apart from Russell and Rinku Singh, none of the KKR batters showed promise. Meanwhile, from the Gujarat Titans camp, there were many top performers with Hardik Pandya leading from the front.
The Gujarat skipper scored a brilliant half-century batting at No.3 and helped his team reach a fightable total. In the bowling department, Mohammed Shami, Yash Dayal, and Rashid Khan took two wickets each. Alzarri Joseph and Lockie Ferguson chipped in with a wicket each.
As the game progressed, Twitter users also shared their emotions. They reacted to everything from Hardik Pandya’s half-century, Rinku Singh’s fielding, and Russell’s 4 wickets in one over to shambolic batting from KKR. Have a look at the top reactions from the game here:
