While Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) lost their last home game against Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) at Eden Gardens (Kolkata) on last Saturday, they bring a refreshing video for the fans. It is the dressing room funs among the KKR players with the title of ‘Nokia Behind The Scenes of KKR Hai Taiyaar’
In that video, Andre Russell introduced with a funny batting stance and then it showed Chris Lynn. After mentioning ‘Behind the scenes of Nokia’, it was showing that Russell was taking a group selfie in the dark dressing room.
In next, Kuldeep Yadav was playing with Russell’s hair while someone was being entered into the kit bag. The 1:44 minutes video ran totally like this with the tiny fun and chilling moments inside the dressing room.
At the end moment, Russell mocked first with KKR skipper Dinesh Karthik’s returning style to the pavilion after dismissal which made laughter in the dressing room including Dinesh Karthik. Then, Russell mocked Robin Uthappa’s batting stance as the team was seen in a group at the final moment.
Coming to the KXIP game, KKR managed to score 191/7 in 20 overs after the visiting team sent them to bat first. In reply, KXIP openers KL Rahul and Chris Gayle began the innings in a stormy way. Before the rain interruption, KXIP was on 96/0 in 8.2 overs.
Later, the match restarted with the new 125 runs target in 13 overs for KXIP which they chased down in 11.1 overs after losing only one wicket. KKR lost the match by 9 wickets with 11 balls to spare.
After the end of the match, KKR skipper Dinesh Karthik revealed that he was not happy with the D/L method.
Talking about that, Karthik stated, “Yes, KL (Rahul) and Chris (Gayle) batted beautifully, but if we got two wickets, we could have put them under pressure. It was interesting that when play was stopped, they needed around eight runs an over but when it resumed it became run-a-ball.
“Ideally, in a 20-over game if we got two quick wickets, the run rate could have gone up. But then it became six-an-over. I didn’t understand that but I am sure Duckworth-Lewis has been something people are trying to figure out.”
