🏏IPL 2023: Match 47 - KKR vs SRH on 04/05/2023 at 7:30 PM IST 🏏 - Page 68

Doom and gloom for SRH. They needed 38 from 30. Varun Chakaravarthy bowled 18 (8 dots including the wicket ball) off them and conceded just 8 runs, picking the crucial wicket of Samad while at it. Are you still wondering who the Player of the Match is gonna be? With 5 wickets in hand and just over 6 RPO to get in the last 5 overs, SRH somehow found a way to lose this. A sweet revenge this for KKR, against SRH, after the run-fest thrashing they receieved at the Eden Gardens. After losing top 4 inside 7 overs, skipper Markram and the in-form Klaasen took up the repair job and did that pretty well. The duo stitched a 70-run stand for the fifth wicket and put their side on course for a 4th win of the season. KKR, however, weren't prepared to give up. After conceding 12 off his 1st over, Varaun Chakravarthy was only introduced after the departure of Klaasen and the plan paid dividends

But Shardul bowled only 3 overs.

Didn't finish his quota.

11.22 pm Sunrisers needed 10 runs off eight legal balls with a free hit at the start of that sequence, but somehow stumble badly short of the finish line, only cobbling together four runs off the last eight balls including nothing off that free hit. What a final over by Varun Chakaravarthy. Two runs off the bat, a leg bye, three dots and a wicket. This result shows why Sunrisers have been anchored to the bottom half of the table, if not the bottom of the table, for nearly the entire season.

Dunnoo... Markram has more chances.. As it is loosing teams are getting more potm's these days

No way Markram is being potm🙃 team did not win and it ain’t like that he scored a century🫣

Sunrisers captain Aiden Markram: "I thought we played good cricket for a large portion of that game but unfortunately in the crunch times we got it wrong. So it's a difficult one to swallow. Klaasy batted beautifully. I struggled quite a bit up front and partially quite a big reason for us coming up short I believe. But Klaasen played well, took a bit of pressure off me and then I could eventually find my feet. But those partnerships, we need to drag out slightly longer and those partnerships are the one that win you the game. I thought the bowlers were good. Guys threw themselves around in the field which was good to see and then with the bat, we set up some partnerships but at the end of it, those partnerships were not enough to get us across the line. You'd rather get it wrong trying to be aggressive. Ultimately guys have played enough cricket to know when is the right time and we'll keep backing them and their decision-making. Hopefully it's a situation that brings out the best in us. I thought we played a lot of great cricket tonight so to not get two points is not ideal and not great. But there's a bit of confidence we can take from tonight and get four out of four."
