IPL 2022, KKR vs SRH: Kolkata Knight Riders keep their slim hopes intact with win over Sunrisers Hyderabad
AS IT HAPPENEDThe road ahead became more difficult for SRH as they suffered their fifth consecutive defeat. However, the SRH bowling unit, back to its full strength with the return of T Natarajan, Marco Jansen and Washington Sundar, should also get credit for making good use of the yorker to keep the KKR big-hitters quiet after they opted to bat first on winning the toss. But it was the 66 run sixth-wicket stand between Sam Billings and Andre Russell that actually made the difference and saw KKR putting up a fighting score of 177 for six. The West Indian all-rounder Russell came good with the ball too, finishing with three for 22.
