Riyan Parag Not Impressed as RR Lose Two for Zero in One Over

Kolkata Knight Riders defeated Rajasthan Royals by just one run on Sunday at Eden Gardens. When RR were 71/5, Riyan Parag furthered their innings with his incredible knock of 95 off 45 and helped RR get closer to the target.

Although before that, Parag could barely believe what went down. He was too stunned to speak after Varun Chakravarthy took down Dhruv Jurel and Wanindu Hasaranga in the same over.

Chakravarthy Takes Down Two

During the 8th over, Dhruv Jurel was dumbfounded by Chakravarthy’s googly. Unable to read it, Jurel’s stumps were knocked over, and he was dismissed for a golden duck.

With four wickets already down, RR decided to send out Wanindu Hasaranga to stabilise their innings. But Hasaranga suffered the same fate as Jurel and got dismissed by Chakravarthy’s googly, departing for a duck.

Riyan Parag, who was watching everything from the other end, could not believe what was happening before his eyes. The skipper expressed his disappointment at the way things unfolded.

KKR Clinched the Victory

On Sunday, KKR clinched an amazing 1-run victory against RR. KKR put up an impressive target of 206 in 20 overs for RR to chase. Angkrish Raghuvanshi gave KKR a solid start with his 44 off 31 deliveries, followed by Andre Russell’s stunning knock of 57 off 25 balls, smashing 4 fours and 6 sixes.

In reply to KKR’s fierce batting, RR put up a terrific chase but fell short by just 1 run, finishing at 205/8. Captain Riyan Parag led the batting front for RR, slamming 95 runs off 45 balls, laced with 6 fours and 8 sixes. Despite RR’s admirable efforts, Kolkata’s bowlers shone through and stopped RR from winning by a run.
