Sharukh Khan and John Buchanan, the two legends behind Kolkata Knight Riders were stunned by their team's performance. These two guys simply engaged in controversies about captaincy instead of tactics and game plans. After their game plans, India's most successfull captain, Ganguly lost his turban. The Buchanan appointed captain, Brendon McCullum won the toss and on a pitch, which assisted the bowlers, he made the biggest mistake by opting to bat first.
Both the openers struggling with the uneven bounce and good bowling spells by Fidel Edwards and R.P.Singh. Though Edwards doesn't get any wickets, he is the guy who bowled exceptionally well. (4 Overs, 6 runs, 1 Maiden, The superstars, Gayle and McCullum fell to R.P.Singh. Gayle hit 1 four and a huge six in his 10 runs. Both McCullum and Ganguly failed to score runs and cheaply out for 1 run. Only Bradley Hodge played a good innings; he scored 31 runs from 34 balls. The fourth foreign player Moises Henriques disappointed with bat. It is a surprising decision to include him instead of Ajantha Mendis, superstar spinner from Sri Lanka. All the good spinners claimed major portion of the wickets in the recent matches of IPL.
R.P.singh took four wickets for 22 runs.
Herschelle Gibbs and Rohit Sharma, easily made victory for Decan Chargers. Gibbs scored unbeaten 43(26 balls, 5 Fours and One Six) and Rohit remained not out on 36(32 balls, 3 Fours, 2 Sixes. Dinda took one wicket and Deccan Chargers made a thrilling victory in 13.1 over itself.
Now both Buchanan and Sharukh are thinking for a new Captain? Best wishes to their innovative ideas!
