The match changed as soon as Rahane is out
Kolkata Knight Riders scored 63 runs in the 8th over. Captain Ajinkya Rahane and Angkrish Raghuvanshi were at the crease for the team. Both batsmen were set. In the meantime, there was a partnership of 55 runs. Then Yuzvendra Chahal took the wicket of Ajinkya Rahane. Captain Rahane tried to sweep Chahal’s ball. He missed and the ball came directly on the pad. After the appeal, the umpire raised a finger.
As soon as DRS is taken, you would be saved
Ajinkya Rahane did not take DRS after being dismissed. If he took, he would not have been out. When the ball was on his pad, the wicket was not in front of the wicket. That is, the impact was out and in such a situation the batsman cannot be LBW. The entire attitude of the match changed with Rahane’s wicket. KKR middle -order batsmen started getting out one after the other. The team scored 8 wickets for 79 runs. After this, the entire innings for 95 runs was reduced.
Both teams were all out
This is the only fifth time in the IPL when both teams were all out. Punjab Kings along with this recorded the record of pre -defending the success of the smallest score in the IPL. Earlier, the lowest score was defended by Chennai Super Kings by scoring 116 runs against Kings XI Punjab in 2009. Marco Yansen also took three wickets for Punjab while Arshdeep, Xavier Bartlet and Glenn Maxwell got one success each. Angkrish Raghuvanshi scored 37 runs in 28 balls for KKR.
