Kolkata Knight Riders batter Nitish Rana said having plied his trade in the IPL for considerable number of years, he is now trying to adapt to the role of an anchor, which was on full display against Rajasthan Royals here. Rana, who hit an unbeaten 48, anchored the 153-run chase on a slow-paced Wankhede wicket to help KKR beat RR by seven wickets on Monday and snap their five-match losing streak.
The Knight Riders Group, owners of IPL franchise KKR, on Friday announced that they are building a cricket stadium in Los Angeles with support from Major League Cricket (MLC). The initiative has been taken keeping the 2028 Olympics in mind as cricket could feature in the Summer Games to be held six years down the line. The cricket venue will be built on a 15-acre land. "Our investment in MLC in America, is based on our belief in the exciting future of cricket in the USA and is well aligned to our strategy of establishing Knight Riders as a global brand in T20 cricket," Bollywood superstar and KRG co-owner Shah Rukh Khan said in a statement.
Nitish Rana on Thursday became the 46th batter in the Indian Premier League (IPL) history to cross the 2,000-run mark in the competition. He accomplished this feat during the 41st match of the league against Delhi Capitals on Thursday. In a losing effort, Rana played a knock of 57 in just 34 deliveries, consisting of 3 fours and 4 sixes, before being dismissed by Mustafizur Rahman. Rana is now in the company of batters like JP Duminy (2029), Kane Williamson (2033), Adam Gilchrist (2069), Aaron Finch (2073) who are just above him.
Till the time Andre Russell is at the ground, one can be rest assured about the entertainment quotient. It wasn't any different during Kolkata Knight Riders' (KKR) match against Gujarat Titans (GT) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 in Navi Mumbai on Saturday. The West Indies allrounder performed both with the ball and the bat but could not take his team to victory as KKR failed to chase a 157-run target. It was the two-time champions' fifth loss in eight matches as they find themselves in the bottom half of the table.
With the wicket of Venkatesh Iyer, Gujarat Titans (GT) star Rashid Khan reached a unique milestone during an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 match against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in Navi Mumbai on Saturday. That dismissal got Khan his 100th victim in the T20 franchise league, where he has been playing since 2017. The leg-spinner from Afghanistan has been a revelation in the T20 league as well as in international cricket with batters from across teams failing to tackle him successfully.
Sunil Narine is one of the most decorated spinners in the history of T20 cricket and the batters find it tough to score big against him even now. In the IPL, the bowler has managed to take 147 wickets and his best figures are 5-19 in the cash-rich league. The bowler almost never leaks runs more than 10 runs per runs and his overall IPL economy rate is 6.67. However, there is one batter who Narine thinks played him the best amongst all and he has finally revealed the name of the particular Indian batter.
Sunrisers Hyderabad continued their turnaround in IPL 2022 after defeating Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets for their third straight victory on Friday.
Venkatesh Iyer has had a meteoric rise in his young cricket career and the left-hand batter will be looking to make the most of the opportunity in IPL 2022. Iyer got into the spotlight after he had a successful stint in the UAE leg of IPL 2021, as his performances helped Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) to bounce back from a poor start to the season as the team eventually finished runners-up.
