Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar dismissing the KKR Openers
With Mumbai Indians’ veteran duo of Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar dismissing the KKR openers in their respective first overs, the Knight Riders’ hopes were pinned on their new captain Ajinkya Rahane. In his first over, Ashwini Kumar’s opening ball pitched wide outside off-stump, Ajinkya Rahane sliced it, and Tilak Verma caught the top-edge in his second attempt.
When Ashwini Kumar was brought back into the field in the 11th over, Ashwini Kumar’s double strikes dashed KKR’s hopes of a comeback. He had Rinku Singh caught by Nanam Dhir at deep point and then bowled Manish Pandey off the pads, leaving the batsman stranded.
