Weekly CRICKET Review - LVI | KKKR - The Champions | WORLD CUP HEAT
Hello, fellow Cricket Enthusiast,
You already know I am sharing a weekly wrap-up of what is happening within the Cricket community. It's the 56th edition now.
It's a big month coming up ahead! The 2024 ICC Men's T20 World Cup has already started in the Caribbean islands and the USA. So, are you interested? Let's dig on!
At first, let's see what happened on IPL. Well, in the last episode IPL - KKR vs SRH, I share about our finalists and their story in the knockout stage. Then what happened?
It was a glamorous night for the KKR fans and players as they lifted the title for the third time after 2012& 2014. It was a one-sided IPL final, where KKR outplayed SRH pretty easily. Iyer, Gambhir, Narine, Russel, Sharukh, and the family, and everyone were jumping excitedly.
It was a lousy performance after all from the Sunrises. Starc starts the proceedings with a ripper to get rid of Abhishek in the first over and Vaibhav sent Head for a golden duck. Then it was a matter of time for the KKR baller to restrict them for just 114 runs. KKR just finished it in 10 overs losing only 2 wickets.
The whole tournament was a sheer dominance from KKR. The first in the group stage losing just 3 matches, easily won both the Qualifier 01 and also the final. Without a doubt, the best team in the tournament and finally became the well-deserving champions.
- Other than the other teams, it's a total team effort from them. Almost every baller chipped in nicely, and batters especially Narine and Salt carried the most, two Iyers did the rest. Russel and Rinkhu even didn't get much chance to do damage. Here are their team performance,
Narine - 488 runs & 17 wickets, Andre Russell - 19 wickets and 222 runs, Varun CV - 21 wickets, Salt - 435 runs, Harshit Rana - 19 wickets, Mitchell Starc - 17 wickets, VR Iyer - 370 runs, SS Iyer - 351 runs, Vaibhav Arora - 11 wickets
