Lucknow Super Giants’s (LSG) reputation of defending low totals in IPL-17 lay in tatters at the Eden Gardens on Sunday as the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) romped past LSG’s 161-7 with eight wickets and 26 deliveries to spare. It was KKR’s first victory in four matches over their nemesis and the Knights will be happy to get back on track after the blip in Chennai earlier this week.
Opener Phil Salt and skipper Shreyas Iyer added 120 in 76 balls for the third wicket to take KKR home. Salt’s unbeaten knock of 89 came off 47 balls with 14 boundaries and three sixes, while Shreyas was not out on 38 at run-a-ball with six boundaries.
