5 memorable moments from the Kolkata Knight Riders-Gujarat Lions match that don't fade away
After the Sunrisers desecrated the Mumbai Indians, it was the Gujarat Lions’ turn to do the same to Kolkata Knight Riders. The home team batted first and their top order was demolished before Shakib Al Hasan and Yusuf Pathan breathed life to their innings.
Gujarat Lions knew that they missed the opportunity to embarrass KKR, but made sure they made no more slip-ups as they batted fantastically to make sure that they finish the game with no hiccups.
With this win, GL have finally ended their losing drought and have taken a step forward towards the play-offs.
There were plenty of memorable moments in the match that don't fade away, quite like the Axe Signature range of body perfumes. Here are 5 of the best:
Rare top order failure
KKR’s top order has been the most consistent in this year’s IPL. Both Robin Uthappa and Gautam Gambhir have consistently performed in this tournament—leaving the middle order to do with very little.
However, today was one of those rare days when both of them failed to make an impact. Captain Gambhir got out for only 5 while Uthappa managed to get to double figures with 14 runs from 10 balls.
Manish Pandey came in at one-down, but had to leave with a duck beside his name. Suryakumar Yadav also couldn’t make a difference as he got out for 4 runs only.
