KKR
After posting a total of 187 on the board, the KKR bowlers bowled quite well to put the brakes on SRH batsmen. KKR got off to a superb start, with Prasidh Krishna dismissing SRH captain David Warner. Prior to that, Shakib al Hasan scalped the wicket of Wriddhiman Saha. The partnership of Manish Pandey and Jonny Bairstow brought stability to Hyderabad’s batting lineup. However, KKR bowlers kept the run-rate under control and somehow managed to restrict SRH to 177. With this, KKR notched their 100th victory in IPL history. They are now the 3rd franchise besides CSK and MI to win 100 matches in IPL history.
Here are 3 key takeaway from KKR’s bowling against SRH in the 3rd match of IPL 2021:
⦁ KKR managed to scalp crucial wickets in the powerplay overs
Back in IPL 2020, KKR conceded several runs in the powerplay overs. However, this year, it seems that the fortunes have changed for the Kolkata franchise. KKR bowlers picked up the crucial wickets of Wriddhiman Saha and David Warner in the powerplay overs. After a strong bowling performance against SRH, KKR captain Eoin Morgan will expect his bowlers to deliver consistently throughout the course of the season.
⦁ Russell’s brilliant display with the ball in the death overs
While Russell failed to deliver with the bat, he made sure that he delivered with the ball. Eoin Morgan entrusted Andre Russell to bowl the crucial 18th over against SRH. The West Indies all-rounder did not disappoint his captain. Conceding just 6 runs in the 18th over, Russell’s economic over swayed the match in KKR’s favor. Russell also bowled the final over of the innings. SRH needed 22 off the last over. In the end, KKR won by a comfortable margin of 10 runs.
⦁ Prasidh Krishna continues his red hot form
Prasidh Krishna was in red hot form coming into IPL 2021 after a superb debut against England in the international format. With the new ball in hand, Prasidh Krishna picked the crucial wicket of David Warner. Later on, he also scalped the wicket of Mohammad Nabi, which helped sustain the pressure on SRH. Krishna certainly poses a huge threat with the new ball. Eoin Morgan will expect Prasidh Krishna to continue his fine form in the upcoming matches of KKR in IPL 2021.
