POBNEWS24, Desk report Oct 2,2021 :Kolkata Knight Riders lost to Punjab Kings by 175 runs in the IPL on Friday night. Punjab Kings lost them by 5 wickets. If KKR had won this match, it could have definitely been ahead in the play-offs.
But even if that possibility survives, the path has been made difficult by losing to KKR, Punjab. Why did Shah Rukh Khan’s team lose even after scoring 175 runs? Failure of bowlers. The economy rate of each bowler is 7-8.
KKR has already played 5 matches in the UAE phase of IPL. 3 of them have won, 2 have lost. The world’s best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan has not played in any of these 5 matches.
Former India cricketer and cricket expert Akash Chopra tweeted to KKR after Punjab’s loss on Friday night. He tweeted, ‘If Shakib were a Kiwi …’ # IPL2021 ‘.
Akash Chopra wrote a little and left the sentence unfinished. It is understood that Akash Chopra is annoyed because he kept Shakib after the match. He thinks that if Shakib had, maybe KKR could have won the match against Punjab Kings.
Shakib Al Hasan has always been ignored. It is doubtful whether it is called Bangladesh cricketer. However, if Shakib had been from New Zealand instead of Bangladesh, he would have been able to stay in the XI regularly and perform.
However IPL Kolkata Knight Riders coach, former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum served.
