Kolkata Knight Riders have beaten Delhi Capitals by 7 wickets and 21 balls to spare on Monday (29th April) at the Eden Gardens Kolkata. Phil Salt's superb 68 and excellent bowling efforts from KKR bowlers helped them chase down the total at ease.
Varun Chakravarty bowled an exceptional spell to leave DC stutter and post a mediocre total. He picked up three crucial wickets of - DC skipper Rishabh Pant, dangerous late order batter Tristan Stubbs and Kushagra and gave away just 16 runs in his four over quota. He was adjusted player of thr match for his superb bowling. However, he credited coach Abishek Nayar and the KKR's owner Shah Rukh, who motived him in his tough days.
"It was holding a bit, as the game progressed in the 2nd innings, it was turning as well. [on him having a good match-up against Pant] Nothing like that, when the catch was dropped, I felt that was a better ball, and the one I got him, on other grounds, it would have gone for a six. Cricket has become a game of fine margins. I liked Tristan Stubbs' wicket. I planned to bowl the legspinner to him and it worked out. [on conversations between him and Narine] Silence."
"When something doesn't work for me, he is always there. In the last game after conceding so many runs, it was a tough pill to take but the whole team motivated us. Abhishek Nayar and even Shahrukh Khan came and spoke to me, definitely motivated us. [on the cheerleaders dancing] They should start dancing only for the sixers and not for the fours."
