The Big Wicket: Krunal Outsmarts Rahane!
KKR were riding high with Ajinkya Rahane smashing 56 off 31 balls—6 fours and 4 sixes lighting up Eden Gardens—until Krunal Pandya turned the tide. Bowling a deliberate short ball, angled leg-side with a deep backward square leg in position, Krunal tempted Rahane into a pull shot. ‘Jinks,’ who loves scoring in that region, took the bait but miscued it—hitting it flat and straight to Rasikh Salam, who held on tight. It’s the fourth time Krunal has dismissed Rahane in T20s—a personal nemesis strikes again! While Rahane’s exit ends a stellar knock, KKR won’t mind—Andre Russell and Sunil Narine are ready to unleash hell.
Score Update: KKR 102/2 after 10 overs (adjust as needed—assuming Rahane fell around the halfway mark).
