One sided..and one man show Kolkata Knight Riders 222 for 3 (McCullum 158*) beat Bangalore Royal Challengers 82 (Agarkar 3-25) by 140 runs at the inaugural match of the DLF Indian Premier League at the Chinnaswamy Stadium on Friday.. Brendon McCullum destroyed Royal challengers bowlers smashing it to all corners of the ground.
Batting first Knight Riders scored 222/3 in 20 overs thanks to magnificent 158 not out by Brendon McCullum. McCullum’s 158 in 73 balls include 10 four’s and 13 huge sixes, it is the highest score in a twenty 20 match.Sourav Ganguly (10 from 12 balls) and Ricky Ponting (20 from 20) disappointed Knight Raiders.
Juss when you hope a minimum fight from home boy’s, the Bangalore never looked to live up to the challenge.
They never challenged the young kolkata bowling line up and fell like a pack of cards and collapsed to a mere 82 to lose by an embarrassing margin of 140 runs, infront of jam-packed home ground. The collapse started in very first over when Ishanth Sharma rooted out Rahul Dravid’s leg wicket and the rest followed very soon
Royal Challengers top eight batsman failed to reach double figures. Praveen Kumar is the only Bangalore batsman to reach double digits in their innings.
RC B’lore will see more embarrassment in coming days as Rahul Dravid and there think tank choosen test players for t20 players, bad days for king of good times
