Amesh Yadav's 4-23 and Andre Russell's unbeaten 70 off 31 balls steered Kolkata Knight Riders to a six-wicket over Punjab Kings in the Indian Premier League on Friday.
Gujarat Titans' pacer Mohammed Shami broke the back of Lucknow Super Giants' batting lineup in an IPL 2022 match earlier this week as he went on to take the wickets of KL Rahul, Quinton de Kock and Manish Pandey. Shami gave severe headaches to the opposition camp and it is no surprise that the pacer did the damage inside the powerplay overs. Since the 2019 IPL, Shami has been at his best inside the first six overs and has time and time again proven to be the match-winner for his side.
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team jumped to the top of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 points table after their second win in three matches on Friday. KKR managed to comfortably chase down Punjab Kings' target of 138 runs as they secured a thumping six-wicket victory with more than five overs to spare at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Two KKR players in particular, Umesh Yadav and Andre Russell, were the stars of the show. While Umesh demolished the PBKS batting with a four-wicket haul, Russell showcased his extraterrestrial finishing skills to remain unbeaten on 70 runs off just 31 balls. Looking at this all-round dominating performance from these star players, KKR posted a hilarious meme from the movie 'Andaaz Apna Apna' to congratulate Umesh for registering figures of 4/23 in four overs, which included a maiden as well.
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) recovered from an early top-order collapse to beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) by 6 wickets in match 8 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Chasing a target of 138, Andre Russell scored a whirlwind 70 off just 31 balls as KKR crossed the line with 33 balls to spare. Earlier, Umesh Yadav took four wickets for 23 as KKR managed to bowl out PBKS for a below-par total of 137. Bhanuka Rajapaksa top-scored for PBKS with a stunning 9-ball 31 while Kagiso Rabada also played a handy cameo down the order.
West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell announced his return to form with a stunning 31-ball 70 that saw Kolkata Knight Riders chase down 138 in less than 15 overs against Punjab Kings on Friday. For two seasons now, Russell has failed to deliver the fireworks that made him one of the most feared batters in the Indian Premier League (IPL), but against PBKS, he was back to his very best as he came in to bat with KKR in a tricky position and turned the game into an easy win for his team.
Former India player Rohan Gavaskar on Friday posted a throwback photo of him batting as a kid to shut down a troll, who had questioned his credentials. Rohan, son of Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar, represented India in 11 ODIs. He had long and successful career in domestic cricket, playing over a hundred first-class matches and List A matches respectively. He current plies his trade as a cricket commentator and is part of the crew for the ongoing Indian Premier League. Recently, a social media troll tried to take a dig at Rohan by asking about his career.
Andre Russell felt "awesome" while hitting those eight monster sixes against Punjab Kings as he always knew what he needed to do when he walked in with KKR's score reading 51 for four. Russell scored an unbeaten 70 off 31 balls and what looked like a tricky chase at one point ended in an anti-climax as the big Jamaican muscled the maximums into the stands. "Feeling awesome, this is the reason why we play the game. In that position, I know what I can do," Russell said after the match.
Umesh Yadav continued his dream run with a four-wicket haul before Andre Russell returned to his brutal best to fire Kolkata Knight Riders to an easy six-wicket win over Punjab Kings here on Friday. Umesh (4/23), coming into the season with just two games over two IPL seasons and going unsold initially at the auction, produced career-best T20 figures to help KKR dismiss Punjab for a below par 137 in 18.2 overs. It was supposed to be a straight forward chase but Rahul Chahar raised Punjab's hopes with a double wicket maiden to reduced KKR to 51 for four.
