New Delhi: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) put an amazing show with the ball as Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) batting line-up collapsed at the Eden Gardens. Varun Chakravarty and Sunil Narine’s spin wrapped Bangalore’s batters.
Early blow for RCB
RCB got good start by Virat Kohli and captain Faf du Plessis but after that Sunil Narine came into the attack and cleaned up Virat Kohli (21 off 18) in the powerplay. There was a visible gap between mid on and square leg and Kohli went for the bait. Narine gave much needed first wicket for KKR.
