IPL 2022 LIVE | KKR vs PBKS | KKR Live Score 51-4 after 07 overs, Chahar wreaks havoc

 

Rahul Chahar has done the unbelievable here as in one over he has got both Shreysd Iyer and Nitish Rana as KKR reel at 51-4 from being 51-2 just an over ago. This is now the second double-wicket maiden of the match after Umesh Yadav got one in the first innings. To make a match out of this, Punjab needed early wickets and early wickets are what they have got courtesy of the brilliant bowling of Rahul Chahar.

Four!! There is no stopping Shreyas Iyer as he moves out of the crease just a tad bit and punches this of the back foot for four past backward point region

 

Good fielding by Liam Livingstone  here as he runs from deep square leg and saves two runs by stopping the ball at deep fine leg from going for a four

9:49 PM

IPL 2022 LIVE | KKR vs PBKS | KKR Live Score 38-2 after 4.3 overs, Wicket for Odean Smith

 

Wicket!! Wow. Venkatesh Iyer really creamed that ball as it has so much force that even after catching it, Harpreet Brar at Cover-Point lost control of it and then on the second attempt got the catch one-handed and rolled with it on the ground. Nevertheless, it has resulted in a wicket and KKR are 38/2 after 4.3 overs

9:42 PM

IPL 2022 LIVE | KKR vs PBKS | KKR Live Score 25-1 after 03 overs, Iyer gets going

 

Shreyas Iyer has promoted himself up at number three or more than promoted, it's a tactical decision as a right-hander replaces a right-hander instead of Nitish Rana coming in at number three

 

Four!! Room offered and room accepted from Iyer as he drives this through the covers and mid-off for four runs

 

Four!! Width again and this time Iyer plays it in the air but over and above the of-side in-field and therefore gets yet another Four over Point 

9:37 PM

IPL 2022 LIVE | KKR vs PBKS | KKR Live Score 14-1 after 02 overs, Rabada gets Rahane

 

Four!! Wow... a pure class from Ajinkya Rahane as he punches this of the backfoot for a four past Point and Cover-Point. Just brilliant this is from Rahanae after completing his 4000 T20 runs in his career. 

 

Wicket!! And that's the beauty of Rabada, he comes and gets a wicket and he has done that here as well. Good length and outside off asking Rahane to drive and he drove and got a thick outside edge straight to Odean Smith in gully who made no mistake and got the cath to remove the first wicket of KKR who are now 14/1 after 02 overs

IPL 2022 LIVE | KKR vs PBKS | KKR need 138 to win

9:22 PM

IPL 2022 LIVE | KKR vs PBKS | PBKS Live Score 137-10 after 18.2 overs, Umesh gets purple cap

9:15 PM

IPL 2022 LIVE | KKR vs PBKS | PBKS Live Score 137-10 after 18.2 overs, Punjab all out

 

And that would be it then. With 10 balls remaining, Punjab here have been all out as Arshadeep played the ball straight to the Point fielder and Odean Smith, without any logic charged towards the striker's end and Arshdeep, who jammed in his crease, by the time thought of putting on his running shoes, was too late and Russell at the non-striker's end removed the bails. And therefore it would end at 137 for Punjab and KKR would need 138 to win 

9:12 PM

IPL 2022 LIVE | KKR vs PBKS | PBKS Live Score 137-9 after 18.1 overs, Sensational catch from Southee

 

Wicket!! If there is going to be the catch of the tournament, it will be this catch by Southee which will compete with many more catches that have so far been taken and will be taken in the tournament. But the sheer amount of running that he did to get to the ball and then the slide and the one-handed catch, it is just amazing how fit an athlete Southee is. Punjab lose their 9th wicket 

9:08 PM

IPL 2022 LIVE | KKR vs PBKS | PBKS Live Score 137-8 after 18 overs, Comeback by Punjab

 

Four!! Yes, say hello to me asks Rabada as he dispatches Shivam Mavi for a four down the ground on the very first ball of the 18th over 

 

Four!! Edge and goes past short third-man for another four and Rabada is now batting on 24 off just 14 balls

 

Another shot down the ground, but this time around, it goes only for a single. 

 

It is quite ironic that Odean Smith hasn't been able to hit even a single boundary till now and suddenly if he gets going, Punjab might be up to a challenging total of say, 150 as they have now crossed the 130 mark with two overs to go 

 

Mavi has now bowed two wides that were both above Smith's head and also outside off, he is lucky that one of them was not called over the head

 

Six!! Finally, the boundary from Smith as Mavi bowls the short ball once again and Smith goes for the pull and even after the top edge, it goes past the fine leg boundary for a six

9:01 PM

IPL 2022 LIVE | KKR vs PBKS | PBKS Live Score 120-8 after 17 overs, Rabada hits them big

 

Wow!! What has gotten into Rabada here? He hit two fours two very good-looking shots over covers and credit to Southee for being able to keep bowling the same length over and again. I mean how can someone bowl Length in the 17th over no matter who the batter is 

 

Six!! And another length ball from Southee and Rabada makes room by clearing the front leg and hits over the bowler's head for a huge six. 14 runs from the over so far and Southee's figures are getting ruined here

 

No ball. Wow. here you go high full toss and no ball given. But lucky for Southee as only one run is taken on the free hit and in total he goes for 16 in the over
