Earlier, Umesh Yadav registered his best bowling figures in IPL as Kolkata Knight Riders restricted a power-packed Punjab Kings batting line-up to just 137. Umesh finished with 4 for 23 - two in the powerplay and two in the middle overs - while Tim Southee picked two as Kolkata bundled out Punjab in 18.2 overs. The remaining bowlers, especially the spinners complemented them perfectly in the middle overs, conceding 37 runs in eight overs, comprising 27 dot balls and two boundaries between themselves. Had it not been for Kagiso Rabada and his impressive cameo of 25 runs off 16 balls, Punjab would have settled for an even lower total.
Mayank Agarwal after the match
“We didn't bat well enough. We showed some real fight with the ball initially and then Dre Russ came in and got going. Credit to him for taking the game away from us like that. I think it was a 170ish wicket. We started off well but could not capitalize, there were a few soft dismissals. But it is fine as it is the start of the tournament. They (bowlers) pulled back nicely for us with 4 for 50 we were in the game, but Russell took the game away. There were a lot of positives to take away.”
Russell wraps up the chase in style
A 31-ball 70, laced with 8 sixes and two boundaries, helps Kolkata wrap up the 138 chase in just 14.3 overs at the Wankhede Stadium.
