After David Warner’s comeback knock of 85-runs, another thing that won hearts of cricket lovers on Sunday was the “Andre Russell Show” at the Eden Gardens.
In the second match of IPL 2019, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) managed to defeat Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) by 6 wickets. This resounding victory will give the franchise a lot of confidence to battle with other teams in the upcoming matches.
King Khan was a bit late to join the contest but was highly pleased with the team’s victory in its first match of the season. This win was indeed special for the team as KKR managed to take revenge for their defeat in the 2nd Qualifier of the IPL 2018.
The Bollywood Badshah, Shahrukh Khan watched the proceedings very carefully and entertained the crowd of Eden Gardens as well.
At some point in the game, SRH were dominating the hosts. But with the help of Andre Russell’s knock of 49 runs in just 19 balls, KKR managed to chase the target of 182 runs. The KKR fans also enjoyed the fascinating innings of Nitish Rana in which he scored 68 runs off 47 balls.
SRK kept on continuously cheering the Knights of his team who were struggling on the battleground, and he seems to be highly satisfied after the win.
