Apr 8, 2013 Chasing a decent total of 145 Kolkata Knight Riders, the reigning champions surrendered before the Royals with the latter making it a two out of two in a row. With what seemed to be a decent game of cricket with moderate total to chase, it was the Royal bowlers who did the job for Jaipur. It’s not the first time one has witnessed Kolkata’s batting line up being grounded by the opposition; captain Gambhir despite sticking around for a few overs fell prey into the hands of a not so brilliant delivery but a brilliant catch behind the stumps. Eoin Morgan was the only batsman to outshine the rest in the squad with a good knock of 51 just when Jaipur fans thought he’s going to take the game away from them but Kevin Cooper, the man from Trinidad bowled a brilliant bowl in his final over to as Morgan read it wrong and knocked off the stumps.
Dravid displayed a wonderful captaincy again as he used his bowlers pretty well and one has to say that he should be proud of the job his bowlers did for him. Kolkata batsmen are only to be blamed here with not one of them showed any intention of rotating the strike and it started with Brett Lee’s overconfident shot soon after he sent one for four. All in all, a happy journey so far for Jaipur, the veteran Indian wall has been showing tremendous temperament with his squad.
