There was a lot of criticism for Cummins in recent weeks. However, he was now able to silence his critics and the fans would be happy with his performance. He will play a key role in KKR’s current campaign if they want to wish in the top four and then try to win the current edition of the Indian Premier League. Let’s wait and watch now whether he can do that in IPL 2020.
KKR Player As A United Today And Everyone Delivered-
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) didn’t have a good start of the chase as opener Sunil Narine returned to Pavilion on a duck. Left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed took his wicket in second over of the game. One down batsman Nitish Rana smashed flurry of stylish of fours to scored 26 runs off just 13 balls before getting out to another left-arm pacer T Natarajan. Kolkata skipper Dinesh Karthik succumbed to Rashid Khan on duck and Karthik wasted a review to overturn the decision of field umpire but he failed.
Another opener Shubman Gill played sensibly to reach his first fifty in this IPL season. He stitched a partnership of 102 runs with English batsman Eoin Morgan to reach Kolkata near the target. Gill scored unbeaten 70 runs off 62 balls with the help of five fours and two sixes. Kolkata achieved its target in 18th over when Eoin Morgan hit winning four to T Natarajan. Shubman Gill was awarded as Man of the Match award for his match-winning innings.
