Restricting the fierce RCB line-up to 92, KKR chased down the total in 10 overs to boost their poor net run rate. The win takes them to fifth position in the IPL 2021 points table with three wins from their eight matches.
Earlier in this edition, Eoin Morgan was criticized for his tactics and failing to replicate his magic for England as captain of KKR. However, his leadership was exemplary on Monday as he didn’t allow RCB to return to the game with smart bowling changes.
Our bowlers had an outstanding day: Eoin Morgan
Eoin Morgan credited the KKR bowlers who set up the massive win. Varun Chakravarthy and Andre Russell picked up three wickets each, going at three an over. Prasidh Krishna got the big breakthrough by sending back Virat Kohli. Lockie Ferguson got two wickets and Sunil Narine went for just five an over in his quota of four.
KKR’s next opponents are the Mumbai Indians, a side they have historically struggled against. The match to be played on Thursday in Abu Dhabi will be an important game for both sides, who find themselves in the middle of the table.
