Many felt that this batting line-up was almost unstoppable.However, KKR just got off to the best start possible after putting PBKS into bat. Skipper Mayank Agarwal was trapped right in from by Umesh Yadav and that set the tone nicely for the Knight Riders.Bhanuka Rajapaksa once again threatened to score big, but was stopped in his tracks by Shivam Mavi. Shikhar Dhawan too departed and PBKS needed to consolidate their innings.Liam Livingstone seemed to have settled at the crease and looked in the mood to break the shackles. However, skipper Shreyas Iyer showed great presence of mind to bring back his strike bowler. The English right-hander tried to clear the fence off Yadav's bowling but was caught at long off.Yadav completed his fantastic spell by picking up wickets of Harpreet Brar and Rahul Chahar and completely sucked the momentum out of the PBKS innings. KKR have chased down a similar target in their opening game and will be confident of getting their second win of the season.
