Knight Riders annihilate Royal Challengers in DLF IPL opener

A scintillating 158* from, man of the match, Brendon McCullum led a 140 run route from Shah Rukh Khan’s Knight Riders in the opening game of the first DLF IPL tournament. After a well received opening ceremony (but for some jeers for the BCCI President, Sharad Pawar), Rahul Dravid won the toss and decided to field on the flat Bangalore pitch. The Knight Riders got off to a flier, Ganguly the only loss within the first 12 overs with Brendon McCullum continuing an onslaught of the Royal Challengers’ bowling attack, racing to the highest individual T20 score in professional cricket. Kolkata finished on 222/3 with McCullum aptly ending the innings with a maximum over wide long on.

The Royal Challengers never got out of the starting blocks, with wickets falling at regular intervals. Typically hostile bowling from Ishant Sharma removed Rahul Dravid first ball of his spell, with his opening partner, Ashok Dinda dismissing Virat Kohli just seven balls later. Dinda impressed with some swing bowling generated from a powerful action and lead the way as the Royal Challengers folded for 82 all out – Ajit Agarkar the top wicket taker with 3/25 and Praveen Kumar (batting at 9) the only batsman in double figures with 18*.

Shah Rukh Khan bowed down in reverence to Brendon McCullum during his record breaking knock; today it was the Royal Challengers reduced to their knees as they fell to Sourav Ganguly’s Knight Riders as Brendon McCullum earned every cent of his $700,000 salary in the course of one memorable innings.

that was just great batting by mccullum, nice way to get the league of to a good start. hope that y pathan has a good game tomorrow, also m kaif.

We were without Gayle,Butt,Akhtar and Gul .

Yes, I'm not disputing the fact that Kolkata may have won, but saying that Bagnalore won't win even one game is too much.

Did anyone else notice that Ishant has changed his action a little bit? His landing is far more powerful than before, and because of that he looks a lot faster too.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Hopefully we can win the rest of the matches.

Tell Me Honestly..You know result for rest of the Matches.
Holly God Jaffar+Dravid=best 20-20 combination..lol.

After today, can't wait for the rivalry between Dhoni and Yuvraj tomorrow!

Thats My Bro..
Whole world is supporting Dhoni.Feels like Only I am supporting Yuvi..
Go Yuvi.

Dont worry.They are going to strike back and win this tournament.

Oh pravan..You are great supporter for Banglore and as Neutral Fan I really want Banglore to win next.

 

[Arunava]

Wow, talk about jumping the gun. It was the first game, and they weren't even at full strength!

they were missing only steyn, misbah and kumble. .steyn doesnt have very good t20 record, neither kumble. misbah is gud but he can make huge difference to save them, other teams will be just too strong for them.

like vaiby said, dravid and jaffer opening is the a suicidal bomb(like lysosomes- suicidal bag). they need to get rid of jaffer asap.

 

[AbBh]

Jaffer has no business playing in a T20 match. He'll always remain a test player even if he wears coloured clothing.

 

[MUFC1987]

To be fair, you're never going to chase 11+ an over with Dravid and Jaffer opening. They need to get White up the order.

 

[manee]

It is a lesson well learnt that Bangalore cannot afford the time to build a platform and must look to send in White and Kumar early to get the run rate up early.

 

[JD10]

I think 20/20 is good

 

[WORLD CHAMPIONS]

Yes, I'm not disputing the fact that Kolkata may have won, but saying that Bagnalore won't win even one game is too much.

When you get into Kolkata's and SRK tunes everthing get changed for more carnage
