Kolkata Knight Riders defeated a listless Delhi Daredevils in the latest encounter of the IPL 2018 at the Eden Gardens.
Delhi Daredevils lost the match by 71 runs, chasing a 201 run target. Sunil Narine and Kuldeep Yadav took three wickets each, as DD batsmen crumbled under the pressure of chasing a big total.
Most of the credit for that big total must go to the partnership of Nitish Rana, who made 59 runs and Andre Russell, who smoked 41 runs off just 12 balls. Russell hit 6 sixes in his brief stay at the wicket, and provided some valuable momentum to the team and led them towards the final total of 200 runs.
Skipper Dinesh Karthik was a happy man to get a win under his belt and interviewed the Bajan all-rounder for the IPL website. IPL put up the video on their official Twitter account with the caption, “MUST WATCH: @DineshKarthik turns presenter and tries to decode @Russell12A's magic at Eden. P.S. Mr. @jatinsapru what did you think about DK's skills as an anchor? Feedback is welcome @KKRiders #VIVOIPL”
