Axar Patel has managed to dismiss in his second over and the match’s fourth over. Kolkata Knight Riders are batting first in today’s premier league match against Delhi Capitals.
They have got their first shock very early on in the game all attributed to Axar Patel’s presence of mind as he saw Rana stepping out to hit the ball. Axar immediately threw the ball a little off Rana’s reach and Rishabh Pant behind the wickets did the rest of the work. A fine stumping as Kolkata Knight Riders openers is sent back to the pavilion at a very small score of just 25 runs in 4 overs.
The next two wickets to fall are Rahul Tripathi and skipper Eoin Morgan, who lost their wickets to Marcus Stoinis and Lalit Yadav in back-to-backovers.
Captain Eoin Morgan’s wicket couldn’t have come at a more crucial time for the team who tried to go for a boundary but handed the ball straight to Steve Smith at the deep end.
