Kolkata Knight Riders made a memorable homecoming with an 81-run victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore on Thursday. If `Lord` Shardul powered the Knights to a mammoth 204 with his 29-ball 68, it was 19-year-old Suyash Sharma who made a tremendous `impact` in the second innings as an `impact player` in place of Venkatesh Iyer. The long-haired mystery spinner scalped two crucial wickets in a single over to leave RCB reeling at 86 for eight.
Sharma claimed his maiden wicket with a tossed up delivery aimed at Anuj Rawat who was dismissed for one run and in space of just three balls, he bagged a prized-scalp of veteran Dinesh Karthik with a fuller delivery. The little known U-25 spinner hailing from Delhi, who played only white ball cricket at age-group level, before being snapped at the auction this year, formed a deadly combination with Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy in KKR`s comprehensive win against Bangalore.
