During the 39th match of the ongoing 13th season of the Indian Premier League between Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore in Abu Dhabi, Kolkata Knight Riders captain Eoin Morgan’s decision to win the toss and chose to bat didn’t go down well after his team was restricted to 84/8 in 20 overs.
It all started with Royal Challengers Bangalore pacer Mohammed Siraj becoming the first-ever bowler to bowl a couple of maiden overs in an IPL match.

Having dismissed the likes of Rahul Tripathi (1), Nitish Rana (0) and Shubman Gill (1) in his first two overs, Siraj made early inroads to the extent that the opposition couldn’t recover.
With Kolkata also losing Tom Banton (10) to Navdeep Saini inside the powerplay, the onus was on Morgan and wicket-keeper batsman Dinesh Karthik to stitch a significant rescue act.
Despite the senior duo getting their eye in, they never really got going as far as the run rate was concerned. Karthik (4) once again getting out to Yuzvendra Chahal meant that his team lost half its batsmen even before the halfway mark.
Before getting out in the 16th over, Morgan top-scored for KKR with his 30 (34) but the same meant nothing with respect to his team scoring a competitive total.
While Siraj was the pick of the bowlers for Royal Challengers with bowling figures of 4-2-8-3, Chahal was second-best with his figures of 4-0-15-2 including wickets of Karthik and Pat Cummins (4).
