Virat Kohli's RCB hits new low, MS Dhoni finds form
UPDATED: May 12, 2017 16:25 IST
We have been fortunate to witness some amazing matches in the Indian Premier League this season but nobody would have predicted a match like the one we saw on Sunday night between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore
RCB's famed batting lineup completely disintegrated at the Eden Gardens as Kolkata bowled out the visitors for just 49 runs while defending a below-par score of 132.
Even with the likes of Virat Kohli, Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers in the playing XI, RCB somehow managed to get bowled out for the lowest ever score in IPL history. Kohli departed for a golden duck while Gayle and De Villiers just managed 15 runs between themselves.
Interestingly, four years ago on the same day RCB had posted the highest total in the IPL scoring 263/5 against Pune Warriors with Gayle top-scoring with unbeaten on 175, the highest individual score till date in T20 cricket.
But on Sunday, Kolkata only needed 9.4 overs to bundle out the opposition. KKR boast of some of the finest spinners in their lineup but they weren't needed at all as fast bowlers Nathan Coulter-Nile, Umesh Yadav, Chris Woakes and Colin de Grandhomme ripped apart RCB's batting lineup.
Coulter-Nile, Woakes and de Grandhomme took three wickets each to help KKR register its fifth win this season. It was also just the second instance when both teams were bowled out in an IPL match.
Earlier the first match on Sunday had seen Kings XI Punjab defeat Gujarat Lions by a comfortable margin of 26 runs. Riding on Hashim Amla's 65, Kings XI posted 188 for 7 and then restricted the Lions to 162 with Sandeep Sharma, KC Cariappa and Axar Patel taking two wickets each.
In the double headers prior to that on Saturday, Mumbai Indians defeated Delhi Daredevils by 14 runs to clinch the top spot in the points table while Rising Pune Supergiant rode on MS Dhoni's trademark finishing prowess to chase down 177 against Sunrisers Hyderabad.
