#4 Robin’s rage
Who needs Batman when you have Robin? We just had to use that, didn’t we? Kolkata Knight Riders have a conundrum that every team would love to have. Coming into the IPL 2017, Kolkata had the most stable opening pair in Robin Uthappa and Gautam Gambhir.
However, they were probably bored at how efficient that pair has been over the years and, hence, opted to experiment with the opening slot. That meant that Uthappa had to be demoted down the order, but that doesn’t really matter to a batsman who is in outstanding form as he translated his wonderful flow with a well-paced innings of 72 of 48 balls, a knock which kept the scorecard ticking at a brisk rate and helped his team set a target of 188.
