Kolkata secure easy 6-wickets win over Delhi Daredevils: IPL 2012

Posted: 07 May 2012 12:44 PM PDT


Kolkata Knight Riders thrashed Delhi Daredevils by six wickets in a lopsided contest to emerge as the table leaders in the Indian Premier League on Monday night.

Chasing a modest target of 154, KKR knocked off the runs with eight balls to spare, courtesy Brendon McCullum’s 56 and his 68-run opening stand with skipper Gautam Gambhir (36).

KKR now lead the points table with 17 points and are all but through to the knock-out stage.

With Sehwag and Kevin Pietersen doing the bulk of the scoring in the earier matches, the Daredevils middle-order was put to test for the first time and it failed miserably.

The likes of Ross Taylor, Yogesh Nagar should take bulk of the blame as they couldn’t stand-up and be counted when their team needed them most. The defeat is certainly a wake-up call for Sehwag’s boys.

The Daredevils lost the match within the Powerplay overs as Gambhir and McCullum started off from where they left against Pune Warriors.

McCullum, who has started to find some form, smashed Irfan Pathan for successive boundaries while Gambhir hit left-arm spinner Shahbaz Nadeem for two fours and a six in the fourth over of the innings that fetched 16 runs.

In the next Umesh Yadav over, the duo got another 13 runs as the 50 came off in only five overs.

The Daredevils pacers lacked the discipline as they couldn’t bowl to one channel which made life much easier for Gambhir-McCullum combination.

Finally Varun Aaron, coming back from stress reaction injury, finally dismissed Gambhir. It was a delivery that climbed up on Gambhir as he tried to play the dab-shot to thirdman only to inside edge onto his stumps.

However, there was no stopping McCullum as he continued playing his shots with ease. With Jacques Kallis (30, 27 balls, 3×4) playing the role of a second fiddle to perfection, McCullum repeatedly bisected the fielders between fine leg and mid-wicket after being gifted with deliveries on his pads. He completed his 50 with a couple off Morne Morkel off 40 balls.

Umesh Yadav brought some life back to the lop-sided contest with twin blows as both Kallis and McCullum (56, 44 balls, 7×4) were dismissed, being hurried onto their shots by short-pitched deliveries but that was too late in the day.

Earlier, Delhi Daredevils didn’t fire as a batting unit as Kolkata Knight Riders restricted them to a manageable 153 for nine in their stipulated 20 overs.

Opting to bat first, Daredevils started off well with Sehwag blasting 23 off only nine deliveries but failed to convert his good start.

The likes of David Warner (21), Mahela Jayawardene (30) got out just when they looked set while Ross Taylor (16)’s woeful run with the willow affected Daredevils’ chance of putting up a good score.

It was only due to Irfan Pathan’s (36, 22 balls, 4×4, 1×6) lusty blows that helped Kolkata to cross the 150-mark.

As many four batsmen were out in the final over of the innings bowled by ‘mystery spinner’ Sunil Narine who again had enviable figures of two for 23 while Jacques Kallis (2/20) made telling impact removing both Sehwag and Warner.

Sehwag was again off the blocks in a flash as he hit a couple of boundaries and a huge six over mid-wicket off left-arm seamer Pradeep Sangwan in the second over of the innings.

Warner, who looked scratchy during the first few deliveries, then got his act together as he hit Brett Lee for a straight six and followed it up with a cover drive.

In only 3.2 overs, Sehwag-Warner duo added 40 runs and it looked like KKR bowlers were in for a ‘Knightmare’ when Kallis provided twin-breakthrough.

First he had Sehwag adjudged leg before when he was trying to work the ball on the leg-side. So confident was Kallis that he didn’t even bother to appeal at the first go. Sehwag had hit three boundaries and a six in his 23.

Warner (21, 19 balls, 2×4, 1×6) hit another flashy boundary which was more like a shot of a desperate batsman before Kallis got the dangerous Aussie to edge one to Brendon McCullum behind stumps.

Jayawardene survived a confident caught behind appeal after which he had a heated exchange with opposition skipper Gambhir. Ultimately it was Ross Taylor who had to intervene.

The Sri Lankan skipper was again lucky when McCullum dropped him off Kallis’ bowling. But then he started showing his class.

A deft glance off Sangwan, a powerful square cut and swept six off Rajat Bhatia were sheer class. The lap shot over keeper’s head off Sunil Narine was also a delight to watch as he added 46 runs for the third wicket with Taylor.

But just when he was starting to look threatening, he called for a non-existent single and failed to beat Gambhir’s underarm throw. Jayawardene scored 30 off 27 balls with three fours and a six.

Taylor’s poor form continued as he failed to middle a single delivery. The dot balls he played added to the pressure and the initial impetus provided Sehwag was long gone.

Finally, he was holed out in the deep off Sangwan’s bowling. The Black Caps skipper managed 16 off only 27 balls.

Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Delhi Daredevils Post Match Presentation IPL 2012

Posted: 07 May 2012 12:14 PM PDT


Kallis: It is nice to contribute with both bat and ball. It has been a fantastic season for the team. The wicket was good and the guys assessed the conditions well. We need to carry on and do well. It is all about momentum and a couple of wins would put us with a good chance of making it to the play-offs.

Jacques Kallis is the MoM for his all-round skills.

Gambhir: Narine has been fantastic. The way we came back into the match was great. It is great to be on top of the table. We need to continue the momentum and keep getting better. It is not about individuals and what we do as a team is important.

Sehwag: We did not capitalize in the middle overs. Narine bowled well. Mahela and Taylor could not get going and we were 20-25 runs short. I could have smashed Narine but he is bowling very well. 152 was not a bad total. We did not bowl and field well. It is difficult to set fields. We thought Nadeem was a good option but it did not work today.

Sehwag: I didn’t do well in Australia and then I got a break, so this is my time to cash in. We can now play freely, we don’t need to bother about where we are in the table. Yes Warner is in the playing eleven. I think it is a good track to bat on, the last time we played on this track we scored 200 odd against Mumbai. Varun Aaron is fit now and he is raring to go and he replaces Negi.

Gambhir: It is going to be an even contest, hopefully we can just go out there and give 100 percent. We didn’t play against Ganguly, we played against a team called Pune Warriors. It is always about being number one in whichever competition you play, so we just want to win here and be number 1. We want to play well as a unit. It is just the media hype, it is not about two inidividuals, it is Kolkata versus Delhi.

IPL 2012 Preview: Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Delhi Daredevils, 07 May 2012

Posted: 06 May 2012 04:30 PM PDT


Virender Sehwag’s flamboyance will be put to test against Gautam Gambhir’s gumption when leaders Delhi Daredevils take on second-placed Kolkata Knight Riders in a top-of-the-table clash in Indian Premier League on Monday.

As far as the points table is concerned, only a single point separates the two teams. While Delhi Daredevils have 16 points from 10 matches with eight wins, KKR aren’t far behind with 15 points from 11 encounters with seven wins.

On paper, the Daredevils are slightly better side with a formidable batting line-up and a balanced bowling attack while KKR have relied a bit more on individual performances from skipper Gambhir and mystery off-spinner Sunil Narine.

The batting depth of the Daredevils can be gauged by the fact that although someone like Kevin Pietersen is back in England to join national team, the Delhi outfit have another match-winner in David Warner joining their ranks.

While the Daredevils come into the match after a four-day break which has helped the players recharge their batteries, KKR will be riding high after their inspiring seven-run win in the prestige match against the Sourav Ganguly-led-Pune Warriors yesterday.

Both the sides are all but assured of a place in the knock-out stages, but a victory in the marquee clash will not only bolster the confidence but also help them consolidate their position at the top.

Both Gambhir and Sehwag know that very well and would be ready to put in those extra yards to log full points tomorrow.

Having been involved in numerous match-winning partnership for their national, state as well as IPL teams, the two Delhi openers have done admirably well in leading their respective sides in this edition of the T20 event.

Ross Taylor, by his own admission is out of form having managed only 91 runs from seven matches, and the Daredevils management may be tempted to pitchfork West Indian all-rounder Andre Russell in the thick of things.

Not only Russell is a capable seamer, he is also a very handy batsman. The rest of the team selects itself.

The KKR side’s main worry has been the form of their international batsmen. While Gambhir has been in sparkling touch, same can’t be said about T20 specialist Yusuf Pathan who has been one of the biggest disappointment of IPL V.

Even a promotion in batting-order hasn’t been able to arrest his slump in form. It will be interesting to see whether Gambhir decides to persist with Pathan after the latter scored only 59 runs in nine innings so far.

Similarly, Manoj Tiwary who has had a quiet IPL by his standard should like to replicate his performance at the Kotla during the last edition of IPL when he got man-of-the-match award against the Daredevils.

Among the KKR bowlers, West Indian off-spinner Narine has been a surprise package. There hasn’t been a single batsman in this edition of IPL who can claim that they have played Narine comfortably.

Even Rajat Bhatia’s slower balls has been very effective and being a local boy, his knowledge of the conditions here will be more than handy for the visitors.

In all, there is each and every ingredient which is required to produce a thriller. (PTI)

Teams:

DD (probable): Mahela Jayawardene, Virender Sehwag (c), Aaron Finch, Ross Taylor, Yogesh Nagar, Naman Ojha (wk), Irfan Pathan, Umesh Yadav, Shahbaz Nadeem, Morne Morkel, Pawan Negi

KKR (probable): Gautam Gambhir (c), Brendon McCullum (wk), Jacques Kallis, Manoj Tiwary, Yusuf Pathan, Debabrata Das, Rajat Bhatia, Laxmi Shukla, Sunil Narine, Iqbal Abdulla, Marchant de Lange
