Monday crowd at Brabourne Stadium witnessed the best game of the TATA IPL 2022 season so far. KKR and RR battled tooth and nail with each ball being an event. Rajasthan Royals held their nerves to win the game by 7 runs. The game was a highlight as the match was played on 18th April, the day TATA IPL was born. It was made even more special as Jos Buttler scored his 2nd 100 of the season and Chahal not only picked 5 wickets but also became the 21st player to take a hattrick.
Prasidh Krishna gets trolled by KL Rahul –
Prasidh Krishna has been the leading pace bowler for Rajasthan Royals this year. The 26 year old picked up 2 wickets in the game against KKR. The Bangalore based pacer was involved in a verbal scrap with Aaron Finch on Monday. The Australia was caught by Karun Nair for 58 off 28 balls that changed the course of the game. Krishna posted a picture of himself bowling with Finch at the non striker end. The bowler captioned the picture and wrote “Yes We Can”, LSG skipper and fellow Karnataka team mate replied in Kannada and said “Easyn tiger, Yakk Jagla adtya yavaglu?”. Which means who do you always keep on fighting?
Finch and Krishna’s argument caught on camera –
Aaron Finch and Shreyas Iyer added 107 for the 2nd wicket after the first ball dismissal of Sunil Narine. The Australian white ball captain who is a replacement player for Alex Hales was showing his full range of strokes. Finch was galloping along in pursuit of the 218 set by the Royals. With his score on 58, Finch got a short rising ball from Krishna and the Australian tried to upper cut it. The ball got the bottom edge of the bat and the catch was pouched by Karun Nair. While Finch was walking back, the bowler muttered something and the Australian white ball skipper was seen replying. The entire exchange was caught on camera and became a raging topic of discussion amongst fans. RR next play Delhi on Friday, while KKR take on Gujarat in the afternoon game on Saturday.
