रविवार को चल रहे आईपीएल (IPL 2020) के पहले मुकाबले में कोलकाता नाइट राइडर्स (Kolkata Knight Riders) के लिए पूर्व कप्तान दिनेश कार्तिक (Dinesh Karthik) व मौजूदा कप्तान ओइन मॉर्गन (Eoin Morgan) ने अंतिम ओवरों में शानदार बल्लेबाजी कर सनराइजर्स हैदराबाद के सामने सम्मानजनक लक्ष्य खड़ा किया है। दिनेश कार्तिक ने 14 गेंदों पर 29 रनों की पारी खेली, तो मॉर्गन ने भी 23 गेंदों पर 34 रनों की अहम पारी खेली। इससे पहले टॉप आर्डर में शुबमन गिल ने 36, राहुल त्रिपाठी ने 23 व नितीश राणा ने 29 रनों की छोटी पारियां खेली। हैदराबाद की तरफ से टी नटराजन ने बेहतरीन गेंदबाजी कर 2 विकेट अपने नाम किये। एक बार फिर धुंआधार बल्लेबाज आंद्रे रसेल फ्लॉप हुए और केवल 9 रनों का योगदान टीम के लिए दे पाए।कार्तिक व मॉर्गन की धमाकेदार पारी को लेकर ट्विटर पर आई प्रतिक्रियाएं:The batting line-up of Kolkata is very explosive and to restrict them to a total of 163 is very commendable. A late flourish by Karthik and Morgan towards the end sees them end with a good total. Will SRH be able to chase down to 164? 🤔#IPL2020 #SRHvKKR pic.twitter.com/cOevediIkj— Sportskeeda (@Sportskeeda) October 18, 2020A quickfire knock from DK and Morgan steers us to a strong finish!Over to our bowlers! 👊🏼#KKRHaiTaiyaar #Dream11IPL #SRHvKKR pic.twitter.com/NV64uW6xGv— KolkataKnightRiders (@KKRiders) October 18, 2020DK & Eoin Morgan have to bat ahead of Andre Russell in any given situation and year ..period #SRHvKKR #IPL2020— S.Badrinath (@s_badrinath) October 18, 2020.@DineshKarthik once again proved his prowess with the bat.💪👏 Always believed he is important for @KKRiders success!It's a good score for them to defend. @SunRisers once again will rely on their openers to fire!🔥💯 #Dream11IPL #SRHvKKR— Reema Malhotra (@ReemaMalhotra8) October 18, 2020Finally the right utilisation of DK the batsman. No 6 with about 5 overs left. That’s when you get greatest value out of him. The impact innings. #KKRvSRH— Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) October 18, 2020Dinesh Karthik & Eoin Morgan has put on terrific partnership - KKR was 105 for 4 from 15 overs and then added 58 runs from just 30 balls for the 5th wicket.— Johns. (@CricCrazyJohns) October 18, 2020India will deserve to lose WT20 if they don't include DK as their finisher. #KKRvSRH— Manya (@CSKian716) October 18, 2020New Captain 🤜🤛 Former CaptainMorgan and Karthik finishing off the @KKRiders innings in style, the pair scored 58 runs in the last 5 overs 💥#SRHvKKR #IPL2020 #Dream11 #AbuDhabiCricket pic.twitter.com/ripljASC5j— Abu Dhabi Cricket (@AbuDhabiCricket) October 18, 2020I have figured it out.
