Things didn’t start on the right way for KKR as they in the very start. They were 17 for 3 after 3 overs and then a crucial 3rd wicket partnership between Eoin Morgan and Rahul Tripathi eloped in.
5⃣0⃣ runs up for the 4th wicket so far 💪

The duo of skipper Morgan and Tripathi stabled up the KKR voyage into the match. The duo cumulatively contributed 66 runs for the 3rd wicket partnership, as in the last ball of 11th over, PBKS spinner Deepak Hooda dismissed Rahul Tripathi for a score of 41 runs.

Eoin Morgan, before this match, didn’t have the best of the forms as he was clearly seen struggling but this partnership alongside Tripathi must have given KKR skipper a ray of hope to return to his former self in form. Eoin Morgan at the moment stands in the middle as KKR look in a comfortable place to steer a much-needed victory.
Frightening Forties 🥺🥺🥺

The misery of the TOP order for KKR continues as they are in dire need to change. Their top order is clearly out of form and Rana, who was showing some form in the start, looks to have strangled to early success.
