Hyderabad, May 4 (Ians) Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) won the toss and opted to bat first against Sunrisers Hyderabad (Srh) in an Ipl 2023 match at Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, here on Thursday.
Kkr made two changes in their playing XI as Jason Roy came in for David Wiese and Vaibhav Arora replaced N Jagadeeshan.
“We’ll bat first. Looks like a good wicket, hopefully, we’ll post a good score and then restrict them. We’re not thinking too much ahead, we just have to take it game-by-game. We have had injuries in many games, but they’re back now. We’re playing an extra batter due to the impact rule, and need to get those 10-15 extra runs. Two changes – Jason Roy is back in place of David Wiese, Vaibhav Arora replaces Jagadeeshan,” Kkr skipper Nitish Rana said at the toss.

Kolkata, April 29 (Ians) Noor Ahmed and Joshua Little were impressive in taking two wickets in middle overs while Vijay Shankar stepped up at the right time to overcome a scare in middle overs and smash a blazing 51 off just 24 balls to lead Gujarat Titans to top of the Ipl 2023 points table with a seven-wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens on Saturday.
Post the play starting after 45 minutes of rain delay, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, coming in for an injured Jason Roy, slammed a scintillating 39-ball 81, laced with five fours and seven sixes. But apart from Andre Russell, the birthday boy, smashing a 19-ball 34, with two fours and three sixes, no other batter stepped up as Kolkata made 179/7.

At 98/3 in 12 overs, Gujarat were in trouble and chasing 180 seemed far-fetched.

With the required run-rate around 12, Miller began by cutting Varun Chakaravarthy through extra cover for four, followed by smacking Suyash Sharma for clean sixes over long-off and long-on. Shankar then cut Suyash through point as 18 runs came off the 15th over.

Bengaluru, April 27 (Ians) Royal Challengers Bangalore (Rcb) skipper Virat Kohli has attributed his side’s 21-run loss to Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) to their lackluster fielding that led the opposition to set their foot in the game.
A blistering 56(29) from Jason Roy and an attacking 48 off 21 from captain Nitish Rana powered Kkr to 200/5 as most of the Rcb bowlers were costly while they were poor in fielding too, dropping easy chances.
Then, Suyash Sharma began the pullback for Kolkata by taking 2/29, before Chakaravarthy and Russell picked 3/27 and 2/29 respectively in restricting Bangalore to 179/8 to earn a much-needed win, after four losses in a row.
“To be honest we handed them the game. We did deserve to lose. We handed them a victory. We were certainly not up to standard. If you look at the game, we didn’t capitalize our chances. We dropped a few chances which cost us 25-30 runs.

Kolkata, April 14 (Ians) Harry Brooks’ unbeaten and maiden century and Aiden Markram’s half-century propelled Sunrisers Hyderabad (Srh) to 228/4 against Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) in an Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 match at Eden Gardens, here on Friday.
With Brooks’ brilliant 100 off 55 balls, including 12 boundaries and three maximums, skipper Markram 50 off 26 along with Abhishek Sharma (32 off 17) and Heinrich Klaasen’s (16 off 6) quickfire), Srh posted the season’s highest total on the board.
Brook gave a flying start to Srh, hitting Umesh Yadav for three boundaries. The England batter continued with his fearless hitting as he smashed Umesh again in the third over for two back-to-back maximums, taking 15 runs off the over.
In the next over, Kkr introduced spin in the form of Sunil Narine in order to put brakes on the visitor’s run rate, which turned to be fruitful as Narine gave away just three runs off the fourth over.

Kolkata, April 14 (Ians) Kolkata Knight Riders (Kkr) won the toss and opted to bowl first against Sunrisers Hyderabad (Srh) in an Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 match at Eden Gardens, here on Friday.
While Kkr remained unchanged, Srh made one change in their line-up with Abhishek Sharma coming in for Washington Sundar.
“We’ve been practicing here and there has been dew. Keeping that in mind, we want to chase,” Kkr captain Rana said at the toss.
On the other hand, Srh skipper Aiden Markram said: “Would have looked to bowl, that is the trend. This is a high scoring wicket, so happy to get runs on the board. Nice to get a win, and today is a fresh start. Hopefully, we can do well. I don’t think we’ll set a target, you need to look at the pitch and then reassess. Whatever we get we’ll try our best to defend.

Ahmedabad, April 9 (Ians) B Sai Sudharsan smashed his second successive half-century of Ipl 2023 while Vijay Shankar slammed a sensational 63 not out as the duo’s efforts took Gujarat Titans to a massive 204/4 against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Narendra Modi Stadium here on Sunday.
After making an unbeaten 62 against Delhi Capitals in a chase of 163, Sudharsan was pristine in his 53 off 38 balls. But it was Shankar’s unbeaten 24-ball onslaught in the last two overs, which produced 45 runs, that got Gujarat past 200. He hit two fours and as many sixes off Lockie Ferguson, before smashing a hat-trick of sixes off Shardul Thakur in the final over.
Gujarat were slow to begin in Power-play, with Shubman Gill and Wriddhiman Saha getting a boundary each off Shardul Thakur in the second over. Saha went on to loft Umesh Yadav and Ferguson over extra cover for a four each.

The match, which Kolkata are playing a home game for the first time after 2019, also marks Sunil Narine’s 150th Ipl game, with Andre Russell completing a century of appearances in the tournament.

After winning the toss, Du Plessis said England’s left-arm pace all-rounder David Willey came in for Reece Topley, who suffered a right shoulder dislocation while fielding.
“There was dew last night. Hoping it will get skiddy in the second innings. Reaching the playoffs is a long way away. Today is a completely new game.

Mohali, April 1 (Ians) First-time Kolkata Knight Riders captain Nitish Rana has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Punjab Kings in the second match of Ipl 2023 at the Is Bindra Pca Stadium, here on Saturday.
After winning the toss, Rana said Tim Southee, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Rahmanullah Gurbaz are the four foreign players in Kolkata’s playing eleven. “It has rained in the last two days so there would be some moisture. I am excited because very few people get this opportunity (of captaining an Ipl team).”
“It is a game of cricket so there is not much pressure. The impact players rule is in its initial stage. We have to see that the decisions we take prove to be right.”
Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan said he wanted to bowl first as well. He named Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Nathan Ellis and Sam Curran as his overseas players in the eleven,...
