DC needs to score 20 runs in the last over. Wonderful last over by Jaydev Unadkut.

 

 

Daniel Christian is out after hitting four & sixer. Third wicket for Iqbal Abdulla.

 

 

DC needs to score 51 runs in 24 balls. More than 12 runs per over.

 

 

What a shot! Sixer by Daniel Christian off Balaji – expensive over. Jacques Kallis dropped a difficult catch.

 

 

Karnataka batsman Bharat Chipli is playing crucial knock here for Deccan Chargers. JP Duminy is out. Daniel Christian is in. DC is losing wickets at regular intervals.

 

 

Kumara Sangakkara out. Rajat Bhatia is the bowler. DC lost crucial wicket at crucial moment.

 

 

Sudden collapse in the fielding standards of KKR. Gautam Gambhir dropped a dififcult catch. 2 dropped catches in 2 overs. Will KKR pay heavy price for these dropped catches?

 

 

Dropped a sitter. 2 fielders collided – basic error. Ryan Does Chate made blunder.

 

 

DC: 15/2 after 3.2 overs. Deccan Chargers are in deep trouble.

 

 

Ishank Jaggi out. Iqbal Abdulla is the bowler. Sensational fielding by Eoin Morgan. Chipli out.

 

 

IPL management should use latest technology like RDS – No chance for error.

 

 

Dramatic turnaround in the fortunes of KKR. We are seeing a different KKR side at Eden Gardens.

 

 

Ishank Jaggi escaped from run-out. Excelelnt bowling by spinner Iqbal Abdulla. Wasim Akram is the bowling coach for KKR.

 

 

Deccan Chargers need to score 164 runs in 20 overs – very difficult but not impossible.

 

 

Unnecessary shot by Yusuf Pathan. He was hit in the groin. Absolutely unnecessary shot. If it were a fast bowler – it might have been end of Pathan career.

 

 

Gautam Gambhir Out: 29. KKR: 133/3.

 

 

Manoj Tiwary is on fire – sixer - four – sixer. Chasing more than 170 is almost impossible at Eden Gardens.

 

 

Jacques Kallis is out after hitting a sixer. JP Duminy is the bowler. Kallis – 53 out. KKR: 90/2. Manoj Tiwary in.

 

 

KKR’s best batsmen are at the crease – Kallis & Gambhir.

 

 

Maninder Bisla LBW Amit Mishra. Bisla – 19 runs. Captain Gautam Gambhir in.

 

 

KKR: 50 runs in 7.5 overs. Good start!

 

 

Amit Mishra bowled a good over. Still, no wicket. Pragyan Ojha in.

 

 

Kallis is in sensational form. What a shot! four runs.

 

 

Shock! Ishant Sharma dropped Maninder Bisla. Fielding standards are very poor so far in IPL 4. Many fielders dropped sitters almost in every IPL game.

 

 

KKR: 3 fours in 7 balls. Good going.

 

 

DC fielded unchanged side while Kolkata picked Ryan Does Chate in place of Laxmi Ratan Shukla. Unadkat also in.

 

 

Toss: Gautam gambhir wins the toss. Almost 50% of match won. 150-160 is enough on this pitch but Kolkata bowling is weak.

 

 

For DC, Daniel Christian is the most impressive player in their match against Rajasthan Royals. Domestic recruits, Ishank Jaggi & Raviteja played well but captain Kumara Sangakka was out for duck. DC has a long tail due to lack of all-rounders. So, their top 4-5 batsmen should stay at the crease until 16-17 overs. Daniel Christian should be promoted up the order.

 

 

In spite of having weak bowling attack, KKR bowled well against strong Chennai, but Gautam Gambhir’s suicidal tactics costed them that match. Another expensive player, Yusuf Pathan dropped 2 sitters. I don’t know why they dropped wonderful all-rounder – Ryan Does Chate of Netherlands.

 

 

Kolkata Knight Riders without Sourav Ganguly is playing their first match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Toss is crucial especially for KKR as DC has good bowing attack.
