Qualifier 2, KKR vs SRH: 3 Masterstrokes from the game

#3 Kane Williamson’s last over gamble pays off

KKR’s last hope was India’s U19 Superstar Shubman Gill. The youngster played a stylish knock keeping the Knights’ hope alive. SRH’s death bowling specialists Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Siddarth Kaul were done with their quota of four overs by the 19th overs. The memories of Carlos Brathwaite taken apart by Faf Du Plessis for 21 runs a couple of nights ago was fresh in memory.

However, Kane Williamson decided to give the West Indies’ world cup hero a second chance to prove himself by giving him the last over to defend 20 against Gill and Mavi. Brathwaite delivered with back to back wickets of Mavi and Gill and conceded just four runs of the final over to set up a grand finale against the Super Kings at Wankhede on Sunday night.
