This was not the story of any Hindi film.
Nor was there any miraculous case involving a champion heavyweight boxer who had fallen in the face of an adversary’s punch and then brought him to his knee after waking up from the dust.
The story of Kolkata Knight Riders captain Eoin Morgan’s ‘uncontrollable beats’ was written by the batsmen of his own team. Against Chennai Superkings on Mumbai ground.
Kolkata’s defeat was decided only after the fifth wicket fell on the score of 31 runs in the sixth over and Morgan’s beats were not accelerated by the stroke of defeat.
His hopes and his thrill had given rise to his beats, where it seemed that the team of Kolkata would not ‘lose the game’.
Strong struggle
Those who were watching this match played between Kolkata Knight Riders and Chennai Super Kings in Mumbai, will understand why Morgan’s heart was like this?
And those who had not seen the match or were distracted from the match after the first five wickets of Kolkata were shattered like cards, may have a little idea of the thrill of the match after knowing that the target of 221 runs came down. The Kolkata team had lost five wickets for just 31 runs and from there the tail batsmen took them to the threshold of victory.
Where the team found it difficult to reach 50 runs, Pat Cummins (66 not out), Andre Russell (54 runs) and Dinesh Karthik (40 runs) took them to 202 runs. The difference of defeat was only 18 runs.
According to Morgan, “the Middle and Lower Order struggled tremendously.”
This struggle did not increase the beats of just one player or one team. On the other hand, the situation was the same.
Fear of love
Deepak Chahar, who took four wickets in his opening three overs, hit the Kolkata mourners after the match, saying, “I was thinking that we should not lose this match. There was a time that he had to score 40 runs in 20 balls.” And this goal can be achieved. “
Chahar had reason to worry. In the IPL-14, he did an amazing job of taking four wickets for the second time and he wanted that this time also the hard work should not go in vain.
