IPL 2020 : Seeing this Bangalore on this day, it did not looks that they would stop at 194 in the end. And AB de Villiers will take the whole of that credit. 

 Kolkata Knight Riders have to dive in to cross the 100-run mark. Shame or what? Who is to blame for this shameful loss of Knights? DK, Coach McCallum or the whole team management? The team's fast batting line-up in front of Bangalore flew at such a stormy pace? Or Kolkata today without Sunil Narine?

Virat's team lost only 2 wickets in 20 overs and scored 194 runs. AB de Villiers of Bangalore played a devastating innings of 63 off 33 balls. Aaron Finch made 48 off 36 balls.

On the other hand, the bowlers of Bangalore bowled impeccably. Everyone took wickets that day. Chris Morris and Washington have taken two wickets each. On the other hand, Navdeep Saini, Mohammad Siraj, Yuzbendra Chahal and Isru Udana took one wicket each. However, Royal Challengers Bangalore liked KKR as much as they did in this match.

AB de Villiers is the man of the match today. The Royal Challengers, on the other hand, moved up to number three in the points table after winning five of seven matches. And Kolkata is at number four. With the victory of this match, it seems to be clearer that the dream of winning the IPL final of Virat's team has come true.

IPL 2020: Rahul Tripathi celebrated his promotion to the top by striking a 51-ball 81 as Kolkata Knight Riders returned to winning ways with a 10-run victory over Chennai Super Kings within the Indian Premier League on Wednesday.

Tripathi stood tall on the way to his fifth IPL fifty before KKR faltered within the back end of the innings and were bowled out for 167.

In reply, CSK were stopped at 157 for five. Having restored his confidence with a whirlwind 83 not out against Kings XI Punjab, veteran CSK opener Shane Watson picked up from where he had left to slam a 40-ball 50, his 21st within the lucrative league.

Watson feasted on the short-ball strategy of KKR bowlers in a 69-run partnership with Ambati Rayudu (30 from 27 balls).

Needing 78 runs within the last 10 overs, the CSK duo departed after adding just two runs, while Mahendra Singh Dhoni, beginning to bat at No 4, got out for 11.

Sam Curran hit 17 from 11 balls, but that wasn't enough as CSK fell short. The win catapulted KKR to the third place within the table with three wins from five matches, while CSK remained at five with four points from six games.

Earlier, CSK staged an interesting comeback as KKR lost three wickets within the last over with 'birthday boy' Dwayne Bravo removing two of them for a powerful 3/37.

Tripathi raced to his fifty in 31 balls to allow KKR a solid foundation after Dinesh Karthik opted to bat.

At 93 for 2 at the midway stage, KKR looked set for a giant score but Bravo struck after that.

Leg-spinner Karn Sharma (2/25), Shardul Thakur (2/28), Sam Curran (2/26) claimed two wickets each because the MS Dhoni-led side bounced back within the last 10 overs by taking eight wickets while giving away just 74 runs. Dhoni picked up four catches, the last one being his best effort.

On a Sheikh Zayed Stadium pitch that appeared to slow down, Tripathi played a risk-free knock and maintained a healthy run-rate.

Karthik made a baffling decision to send Sunil Narine before their best batsman, Eoin Morgan, at No 4. However, Narine did his job with a nine-ball 17 before being dismissed by a superb combined effort by a diving Ravindra Jadeja and Faf du Plessis.

Morgan started with a classical cover drive boundary but Curran cut his stay short with a bouncer that climbed in and took a faint edge.

Thakur, who had given the primary breakthrough by dismissing an in-form Shubman Gill (11), claimed the big wicket of Andre Russell with a cross-seam short delivery because the KKR dazzler struggled to get going.

IPL 2020 : Kolkata Knight Riders vs Sunrisers Hyderabad: Shubman Gill shines in KKR's seven-wicket win over SRH

 Young Shubman Gill drove, pulled and cut magisterially in an unbeaten 62-ball 70 as Kolkata Knight Riders overwhelmed Sunrisers Hyderabad by seven wickets in the Indian Premier League on Saturday.

Gill and Eoin Morgan (42 not out in 29 balls) complemented a disciplined bowling effort, helping the Knight Riders open their account with a convincing win.

The 21-year-old opener anchored the chase perfectly as Morgan counterattacked to seal the issue in KKR's favour with two overs to spare, after their opening game debacle.

Opting to bat, Sunrisers Hyderabad never got going after Pat Cummins (1/19) and rookie spinner Varun Chakravarthy (1/25) removed the opening pair of Jonny Bairstow and David Warner respectively, and were restricted to a below-par 142/4.

After an explosive start by KKR, the bowling-heavy SRH did make some inroads with Khaleel Ahmed and T Natarajan dismissing Sunil Narine (0) and Nitish Rana (26 off 13).

Rashid Khan got into the act straightway, trapping KKR skipper Dinesh Karthik for a duck.

But a relaxed and composed Gill was in complete control of his innings and paced it brilliantly on way to his fifth IPL fifty.

Reigning World Cup-winning skipper Morgan played the proper supporting role before joining the party by smacking Bhuvneshwar Kumar for a huge six in the 15th over to tilt the match in favour of KKR.

Earlier, KKR looked more intent and aggressive with their approach, having brought in Narine and Cummins up front with the new ball.

Having drawn flak for bowling short against Mumbai Indians, the IPL's most-expensive overseas buy Cummins smartly altered his length and bowled Jonny Bairstow with an absolute ripper to give KKR the first breakthrough.

In his second-coming, architect-turned-spinner Chakravarthy dismissed a well-set Warner (36 off 30) in a very soft manner for his maiden IPL wicket, giving KKR the massive breakthrough.

The Australian left-hander, who got out cheaply against Royal Challengers Bangalore, looked to create a mark with some clean hits, but a lapse in concentration did him in and he spooned an easy catch to Chakravarthy.

The two wickets meant that SRH couldn't step up the momentum and at the halfway mark, at 61 for 2 , the run-rate was just above six.

Manish Pandey returned to form at No. 3 with a 38-ball 51 and together with Wriddhiman Saha (30 off 31 balls), tried to repair the damage but the duo were dismissed at the death and SRH lacked the final touch to settle for a seemingly below-par total.

In hindsight, sending Saha before Mohammad Nabi seemed like a tactical blunder because the Indian wicketkeeper wasted plenty of deliveries in making 30 off 31.

IPL 2020, Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma registered 80 off 54 deliveries in MI's win over KKR at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.

Rohit Sharma was the talisman for Mumbai Indians (MI), leading them to a 49-run victory against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 match, at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi . After winning the man of the match award, the MI captain said, "It was all about how we executed our plans today, we were in good positions and it was all about being ruthless". He went on to add that the wicket was good, and his team took advantage of it. Speaking about his batting display, he revealed that he had been practicing his pull shots lately.

Scoring 80 off 54 deliveries, Rohit also said that he wanted to spend a while within the middle overs, which he wasn't ready to neutralize the defeat to Chennai Super Kings (CSK). "Was looking to spend some time in the middle; it didn't come out well in the first innings but glad to have done it tonight," quipped Rohit.

Rohit revealed that MI had planned a pace attack for the Wankhede Stadium, but COVID-19 spoiled their plans. "We never knew that the IPL would happen in the UAE so we wanted a pace attack that was strong for the Wankhede", he said. He praised Trent Boult and James Pattinson for performing well, although they joined the team late.

Speaking about his dismissal, he revealed that he was exhausted. "It takes a lot out of you to play in these conditions. Maybe i was a bit tired in the end and it was a lesson for us that one set batsmen needs to bat deep till the end," he stated. Meanwhile, KKR captain Dinesh Karthik felt that his team must improve in all areas. "I think we had areas to do well in bat and ball. i think it was a pretty rusty day to be honest," he said.

Karthik also feels his side must get accustomed the conditions in United Arab Emirates (UAE). MI face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in their next match on September 28. Meanwhile, KKR face SunRisers Hyderabad (SRH) on September 26.
