Kolkata Knight Riders lost the match, but still big applause to Nitish Rana and A Russell. Four wickets had already gone when Russell came to bat; that time KKR’s score was 79 in 11.5 overs. After Russell’s entry, the partnership of Nitish and Russell was super awesome in this match. When Russell’s wicket came down KKR was only short of 17 runs if Russell would have come little early then in this match may be the scene would have been different. Virat Kohli was also very good in this match. Moeen and Virat’s partnership was also commendable; it was due to their coordination that RCB gave a large target to KKR. With this RCB noted their 2nd win in IPL 2019.
