Shreyas won the toss and decided to bowl first. KKR bowlers restricted Lucknow to 161 runs. That’s where the match tilts in their favor, feels the Knight skipper. After the match, Shreyas said, “An easy victory has come. Bowling and fielding has been very good. It was so hot that it was necessary to manipulate the speed of the ball. As the wicket was dry, the ball was coming to a halt. The bowlers used the pitch very well. I used what I planned. It has been beneficial.”
Shreyas said that the bowlers ensured their victory. The KKR captain said, “They could not score more than 161 runs as the bowlers took wickets. Because of that, the run chase has been facilitated. The bowlers were not scared. They showed how to bowl on this wicket.”
