KKR : The Kolkata team is playing aggressively in the 17th season of IPL. They have won the two matches played so far. No matter how great the team is, no matter how tough the ground is, Kolkata's players are bursting with the sky as the limit. While the bowlers are taking wickets, the batsmen are scoring runs. With two consecutive wins, their team is placed second in the points table after Chennai.
The Kolkata team defeated Hyderabad in the opening match of the IPL 17th season at their home ground. In that match, Kolkata scored 208 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 20 overs. After starting the batting, Hyderabad was stopped at 204 runs.
In this match, Kolkata bowler Russell showed an all-round performance. He played aggressively with the bat and shone with the ball. He scored 64 runs in 25 balls. He took two wickets in bowling. Harshit Rana took three wickets, Varun Chakraborty and Sunil Narine took one wicket each. Mitchell Starc, who was expected to bowl great in this match, seemed to be disappointed. He gave away 53 runs in the fourth over and could not get a single wicket. And in the second match too, he continued his failure.
Bengaluru scored 182 runs in this match. Among the Kolkata bowlers, Sunil Narine, Harshit Rana and Russell took two wickets each. Starc failed in this match as well. He gave away 47 runs in four overs. In total he gave 100 runs in two matches without losing a single wicket.
With this, criticism started on him.. The Island Cricket Board responded to a netizen's comment on him. “The price of beer in our country is much higher than the runs given by Starc in two matches” she threw an irrevocable punch. Now this comment has become viral on social media.
