KKR's victory! Kolkata Knight Riders won their third title!!!
KKR's victory! kolkata Knight Riders won their third title!!!
How does a ten-year wait end? They have demonstrated their superiority in every delivery of the match, needing just 10.3 overs to chase a 114-run goal and taking just two wickets in the process. In the tenth over, venkatesh Iyer reaches his half-century. Three runs separate KKR and victory. KKR 111/2 (10 Overs) is the score.
The eleventh over's third ball single completes the task. After celebrating when a single off the previous ball tied the score, the KKR players had been waiting in the dugout. Now, they pour onto the field and encircle the two Iyers.
As Rahmanullah Gurbaz tries to sweep a delivery from Shahbaz Ahmed, the ball misses and strikes either the pad or the gloves instead. Which one, though? Since the UltraEdge could not be used, we will never know. This means that the on-field determination is upheld. This is the first of several KKR celebrations that will take place tonight. On the final ball of Markram's tenth over, he hits a single. Venkatesh took 24 balls to reach his fifty. From a staggering 60 balls, SRH needs three to win.
Gurbaz reviews the umpires' decision to grant Shahbaz's request for LBW. As he down the track, the preceding ball was shattered to pieces. He attempted to sweep it well; it appeared as though the ball would pass the leg stump. The umpire declares that he has verified ball tracking and that UltraEdge is down. Gurbaz shakes his head and leaves. To take his side home, Captain shreyas iyer enters.
