Sanjay Manjrekar credited the pair of Venkatesh Iyer and Rahul Tripathi for the resurgence of the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) within the second phase of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. The assaulting begins that they have given at the best of the plan have made a difference the side put up better than average totals on the board.
Therefore, KKR won just two out of their seven matches within the first leg. They started the second leg in hurricane mold, in any case, winning their first two matches comprehensively. They at that point went down to the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in a closely battled challenge within the third match.
Venkatesh Iyer
However, The free-flowing batting of Venkatesh Iyer and Rahul Tripathi has made a difference diminish KKR’s dependence on the senior stars within the side, figures Sanjay Manjrekar.
“Kolkata, it’s been quite a story in this Indian T20 league. The resurgence of Kolkata in the second half. It’s really on the back of two players. One cost them (INR) 20 lakhs, the other (INR) 60 lakhs. I am talking about Venkatesh Iyer and Rahul Tripathi. These guys have set to light the whole platform for Kolkata to the extent that they have not had to rely so much on the likes of Shubman Gill, Nitish Rana, or Morgan,” Sanjay Manjrekar said
“Bowling is looking really formidable. Both spinners, Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine showing class in the last couple of games. Lockie Ferguson, good death bowler. If Russell is fit, he bowls in the death as well. And they will be hoping that he is fit.” He added
Sanjay Manjrekar shared his concerns almost like Prasidh Krishna bowling at the passing. The costly penultimate over against CSK fetched his side the match on Sunday (September 26). Manjrekar felt KKR seem to utilize their spinners more at the passing.
