Young Guns Of Kolkata Knight Riders Paying Back Upon Faith
IPL, since its inception, has been touted as the platform for young players to sparkle. And if the young guns are supported by the franchise, they definitely shine. The same was witnessed in the latest encounter of IPL 2020. It were the young guns that helped Kolkata Knight Riders winning its second match in the IPL-13. KKR has bought the trio- Shivam Mavi, Kamlesh Nagarkoti and Shubman Gill- in IPL 2018, and has retained them since then despite of average performances. However, in the 12th match of IPL-13, the trio marauded the Rajasthan Royals team. While Shubman Gill gave KKR a decent start by scoring 47, Shivam Mavi and Kamlesh Nagarkoti took the Rajasthan's top order by its horns. Mavi bowled 13 dots in his 4 overs and sent in-form Buttler and Samson back to the dugout while Nagarkoti hunted two Royals' batsmen in just two overs. With these stupendous performances, KKR defeated RR by 37 runs.
