The Eden Gardens pitch is a major talk, especially after KKR’s seven wickets, after the loss of seven wickets for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). The bowling attack of the domestic team was exposed as Phil Salt and Virat Kohli, which was pursued 175, pressurizing Varun Chakraborty, Sunil Narin and Moin Ali’s KKR spin trio. While KKR requested a turning wicket, the pitch curator Sujan Mukherjee denied his request, although the chairman of the cab is now reviewing the surface.
The decisions of KKR squad are also subject to investigation. Former players like Sris Iyer, Nitish Rana, Phil Salat, and Mitchell Staror have excelled elsewhere, which highlighted the lack of strike bowler of SRH KKR with Stark’s recent 5/35. Anrich Nortje’s non -availability and the poor form of Venkatesh Iyer weakened the KKR opportunities.
On the other hand, SRH’s aggressive batting strategy has returned since his record-breaking 286/6 in the season opener. He has failed to cross 200 runs in the last two matches, facing a decline against Lucknow Super Veterans and Delhi’s capitals. However, his speed attack led by Pat Cummins and Mohammed Shami may prove to be decisive in the Eden Gardens, where Shami’s local experience may be important.
Both teams should win pressure, which leads to a high-dot performance.
