Kolkata Knight Riders is Flying high 💥💥
Kolkata Knight Riders are having a great season in this Indian Premier League. Kolkata Knight Riders, who have not been able to perform well in the last few seasons, are one of the title contenders for the 2024 IPL season. Two-time IPL champions Kolkata are currently at the top of the points table with maximum points from 11 matches. The team has a total of 16 points with eight wins in eleven matches. Can Kolkata Knight Riders finally continue their performance?
Kolkata announced their arrival in the 2024 Indian Premier League season in the first match. The team got off to a great start with a win against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Batting first, Kolkata managed to score 200+ runs thanks to the outstanding batting performance of Andre Russell and Phil Salt. Later, Sunrisers Hyderabad put in a good batting performance but it was not enough to win. As a result, Kolkata Knight Riders made a good start to the tournament by winning the first match by four runs.
After the first match, Kolkata faced one of the strongest teams in the tournament in the second match, Royal Challengers Bangalore. Shah Rukh Khan's Kolkata did not give any chance to Bengaluru in this match. Batting at the beginning, the team of Rohit, Maxwell and Faf du Plessis scored 183 runs given by Bangalore, and the Knights won easily. In this match, the West Indies star Sunil Narine showed himself with an extraordinary performance with the bat.
The team faced Delhi Capitals in their third match. Kolkata Knight Riders batsmen scored a record number of runs by batting first in this match. Sunil Narine, Andre Russell and Rinku Singh's incredible batting performance stopped Kolkata's innings at 272 runs. In the history of T20, no team has the record of scoring so many runs. So it was very impossible for Delhi Capitals to get a win in this match. In the end the team lost by a record margin of 106 runs.
Kolkata get their first taste of the season against defending champions Chennai Super Kings after winning three straight matches. The team failed to perform well in both the batting and bowling departments at home in Chennai. However, the team returned to the winning streak in the next match. Kolkata Knight Riders beat Lucknow Super Giants by an art wicket at Eden Gardens.
Kolkata Knight Riders continued their performance in their next matches. As a result, it comes to the first place in the points table. The team has lost three matches against eight wins in eleven matches. The loss of Kolkata Knight Riders against Punjab Super Kings was quite unexpected. Despite scoring a record amount of runs, the team had to lose due to bowling failure. However, taking into account all the equations, Kolkata's qualification in the top four is very much assured now!
