IPL 2018, KKR vs SRH: Three things that you might have missed

#3 Choking with Spin

The spinners of KKR made this low-scoring match an interesting contest

Chasing 139 to secure their first win at Eden Gardens, Sunrisers Hyderabad was given a thorough spin examination by KKR skipper Karthik in pursuit of defending a smaller total.

Spin was introduced in the form of Narine in fourth over which was followed by Piyush Chawla and Kuldeep Yadav and bowled right through until 11th over without a single over of pace bowling in that period.

It paid immediate dividends with Narine picking the wicket of Sunrisers wicketkeeper Saha in his first delivery and removing Shikhar Dhawan next over.

All three had their name in the wickets column but couldn’t prevent them chasing the target thanks to some sensible batsmanship from Williamson.
