Due to this behavior of the pitch during our batting, it was not easy to score runs in which even Virat Kohli had to struggle a bit. Whenever KKR bowlers bowled cutters and back-of-the-length balls, our batsmen had to struggle a bit to score runs. However, due to dew during the second innings, our bowlers had to face a little more trouble. Whereas Russell bowled most of his balls as cutters, from which we also got to learn a little and today he is also the best bowler of this match.

The partnership between Salt and Narayan made it very difficult for us to make a comeback.

The opening pair of Kolkata Knight Riders team played an important role in winning the match completely for their team in the first 6 overs itself. Regarding this, Faf du Plessis said that the kind of start given by Salt and Narayan had put a lot of pressure on our bowlers and it became very difficult for us to make a comeback. You can say we could have tried one or two things but the way both of them were hitting the ball, it was not easy to stop them. We had kept Maxwell as a spin option but here the ball does not spin much during the second innings. At the same time, it is a little easier to hit the spinner towards the short boundary, which Venkatesh Iyer was doing.
