Kolkata Knight Riders vs Rajasthan Royals Post Match Presentation IPL 2012

Posted: 13 Apr 2012 12:09 PM PDT


Shakib: I have played a lot on this ground and that boosted my confidence. I managed to get my line and length well and got rewarded for that. There was some butterflies in my stomach but once I started to bowl, I felt a lot easier. I knew we needed run-a-ball and I decided to get a boundary or two to ease the pressure. Fortunately, it went my way.

Shakib Al Hasan is the MoM

Gambhir: We knew this was 130-135 run wicket. We had the batting and experience to chase it down. They started well but Shakib and Narine slowed them down. Our batsmen did well in the chase and we could get home. Our bowling towards the death overs was brilliant, especially Balaji.

Dravid: It was a competitive total, credit to KKR. They built a partnership and had the experience in the end to finish. We knew we had to go hard at the beginning, we lost some wickets in the middle which slowed us down. The boys are very young and inexperienced. They will learn from this mAatch as to how to play on these tracks. Not unduly worried at the moment, we will look to a make a comeback.

Dravid: It is tiring to travel but we have had some good fun. We have had a lot of travel to do over the last few days. The pitch here is usually on the slower side. We have a pretty young bowling attack and we need to give them some time. The wicket looks dry and we would love to bat first. We need to asses the situation and need to restrict score around 150. Kevon Cooper is injured and will be replaced by Brad Hodge.

Gambhir: It is important to get off the mark with a win. We will hope to continue with the momentum. It is difficult to choose 4 foreign players out of our bunch. Lovely to play in front of the home crowd. I would have batted first as well. Just one change for us. Narine will come in place of Brett Lee.

Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Rajasthan Royals, Match 15, IPL 5: Preview

Posted: 12 Apr 2012 03:00 PM PDT


Having found the winning touch in their last match, Kolkata Knight Riders would be hoping to maintain the momentum when they host Rajasthan Royals in an Indian Premier League return match here on Friday.

The timing could not have been better for the Knights to capitalise as the Royals are coming after a battering at the hands of Mumbai Indians in their last match Wednesday.

With the Knight Riders’ next match (vs Kings XI Punjab on Sunday) also scheduled at home, maintaining the winning momentum will top their agenda.

Whereas Rahul Dravid’s men appear a bit tired with the hectic scheduling, the Knights are fortunate to get a day’s extra break after their win against the Royal Challengers Bangalore on Tuesday.

It took the think-tank a bit of chopping and changing to get to the winning mode after the back-to-back losses against Delhi Daredevils and Rajasthan Royals in season five.

The four changes in the line-up meant that skipper Gautam Gambhir elevated himself to his usual slot, dropping out of form Kiwi opener Brendon McCullum, a move that set the tone in their much-needed maiden victory this season.

Gambhir led the way with a brisk 39-ball 64 to set up a total of 166, which eventually turned out to be a winning one. But their biggest plus point was the inclusion of veteran seamer Laxmipathy Balaji whose fired-up spell of 4-1-18-4, after Kallis took the prized-scalp of Chris Gayle, set the victory.

“Balaji is a quality bowler and has the capability to take wickets on any pitch. Hats off to him for the way he bowled. This was the best spell that I have ever seen in a Twenty20 competition,” Gambhir said. “It feels nice to finally get a win under our belt. To be honest, it was a team effort. I am pretty happy by the performance of the boys.”

KKR would hope that sports psychologist Dr Rudi Webster give some mantra to the explosive Yusuf Pathan. Yusuf had scored 1011 for the Royals at an average of 26.6 and with a strike-rate of 161.2, to go with his 20 wickets, but is yet to notch up a fifty representing the Knights.

All-rounder Shakib Al Hasan who was finally included in the line-up after much criticism, is yet to fire and the Bangladeshi would be keen to be in the thick of action on the slow Eden Gardens strip.

It would be naive to write off the Royals who turned it around with successive wins against Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders in the first-leg.

For Dravid and Co, having experienced their first defeat in Mumbai — their first in an away match — it would be a challenge to conquer the odds outside home. The bowling would be the main concern ahead of their second outing away from home. The bowlers were at the receiving end against Kieron Pollard in the team’s 27-run loss to Mumbai Indians. The team would hope that the bowlers stick to the task the way they did against the same team in the first-leg while defending 164.

“We have a young bowling attack, there’s a little inexperience there. But there are lessons to be learnt. we will try and keep improving,” Dravid said after their loss in Mumbai. Batting is not much of a worry though with Ajinkya Rahane and Owais Shah in splendid form. The duo gave Mumbai a run for money before the Englishman was castled by Lasith Malinga.

In their last meeting, Rahane was out for a duck after a superb 98 against Kings XI in their campaign opener. The orthodox top-order batsman would look to open his account against the Knights.

The weathergod stole the show in last match here before the home side lost their opener in a rain-curtailed fixture. Both the camps will keep their fingers crossed with sudden thundershowers towards the evening being the norm these days. (PTI)
