Match Videos
score ever in IPL history.
The scenes in their dugout and in the crowd resembles utter madness. Everyone roaring, hugging and clearing their throats. KKR meanwhile look like a kid whose favorite toys have been stolen right under their noses. Such contrasting emotions. Rahane still manages a smile as he walks out for the post-match handshakes. Everyone was wondering at the innings break, how quickly KKR could chase this down. But it has been PBKS who have made an epic comeback. Two early wickets gave PBKS hope – of the openers – but Rahane and Raghuvanshi steadied the ship with the latter playing some beautiful shots. Rahane did not review when impact was outside off and was happy to walk off, that’s where the game turned and Chahal who has not had a great tournament so far, spun a web and bowled an outstanding spell well complemented by Maxwell, Arshdeep and Marco Jansen. Once Chahal found his rhythm, wickets fell regularly and it was left to Russell to win it for KKR. He struck 16 in one Chahal over but Arshdeep and Jansen combined to get Arora and Russell to spark delirious scenes in New Chandigarh. What a crazy game and shows that low-scoring thrillers still have a place in the T20 format, and this was a fantastic advertisement for that. Stay tuned for the post-match stuff…
