KKR ka Bura Din: Punjab ne diya 16 runs se hara kar jhatka!
Aaj, Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium, Mullanpur mein, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) ka kaptaan Ajinkya Rahane apni batting unit, khud ko bhi shaamil karte hue, bohot disappointed the. Punjab Kings ne unhe 112 runs ke target ko chase karne mein nakam kar diya. 16 runs se haar gaye KKR wale!
Rahane ne li zimmedari
“Maine galat shot khela, main miss kar gaya, wahi se sab gadbad hui,” Rahane ne kaha. Unhone Angkrish Raghuvanshi ke saath 60 runs ki partnership ki thi, aur lag raha tha ki KKR aaram se jeet jayegi. Lekin Yuzvendra Chahal ne Rahane ko LBW kar diya, aur wahi se match ka rukh badal gaya. Rahane ne DRS bhi nahi liya, baad mein replays mein dikha ki ball stumps miss kar rahi thi.
’Batting unit ki galti’, Rahane ka maanana
Rahane ne kaha ki woh us time risk nahi lena chahte the, kyunki woh sure nahi the. Unhone kaha ki wicket aasan nahi thi, lekin 111 runs chase karna mushkil nahi tha, phir bhi batting unit ne bohot bura khela. Bowlers ne achi bowling ki thi, Punjab ke strong batting lineup ko 111 runs par rok diya tha. Rahane ne kaha ki team reckless ho gayi, aur is haar ki zimmedari sabko leni chahie.
Shot selection par sawal
Rahane ne apne batters ke shot selection ki bhi aalochna ki. Unhone kaha ki is wicket par full face se batting karni chahie thi, sweep shot khelna mushkil tha. “Intent toh rakhna hai, lekin cricketing shots khelne hai,” Rahane ne kaha. Unhone kaha ki woh bohot disappointed hain, aur unhe sochna hoga ki team se kya baat karni hai.
Chahal ka kamaal
Yuzvendra Chahal ne apne career best tournament figures 4-28 liye, jabki Marco Jansen ne 3 wickets liye. Punjab Kings ke liye yeh ek thrilling jeet thi.
Points table par update
Chhah matches mein aath points ke saath, Punjab Kings chauthe number par aa gaye hain, jabki KKR saat matches mein chhah points ke saath chhathe number par hain.
Is haar ke baad KKR ko apni strategy par sochna hoga, aur aage ke matches mein behtar performance dena hoga.
