Though Sunrisers won against Hyderabad, Mumbai Indians were a thorn in the side of the Knights. Ain Morgan knows full well that they will not rely on Nitish Rana alone if Virat Kohli’s Royal Challengers Bangalore win on Sunday.
This time, Kohli has won both the matches in the IPL. One of the two best captains in white ball cricket is going to fight on Sunday. While one is in the memory of success, the other is worried about the middle class. Andre Russell took the wicket with the ball but could not run with the bat. Morgan himself is not getting a run. Experienced Dinesh Karthik also did not score a single run in the first two matches. Nitish Rana crosses the Baitharani in Kolkata with the bat. His partner Shubhman Gill was also not seen burning.
Kohli’s happy family in the middle order has nothing to worry about. Glenn Maxwell gets runs in every game. AB de Villiers also got a run. Kohli himself is in the race. Herschelle Patel has become a major asset of the RCB team. He takes wickets in every match with the ball. He set a pacer record of 5 wickets against Kolkata and Mumbai.
Harbhajan Singh has caused concern in the Knights team. The over quota is not going to be visited with this spinner bought for Rs 2 crore. He cannot take a single wicket. Last time spinner Varun Chakraborty was not surprised this time. Pat Cummins and the famous Krishnan depend on such a situation.
