In the 19th match of IPL (IPL 2023), Kolkata Knight Riders had to face defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad by 23 runs. In this match, batting first, Sunrisers Hyderabad set a mammoth score of 228 runs for four wickets on the board due to the stellar performance of Harry Brook, who scored an unbeaten 100 and 50 runs by skipper Markram.
In response, KKR’s team could only manage 205 runs at the loss of 7 wickets after 20 overs. After this team’s defeat, Captain Nitish Rana made a big statement and explained the reason for the defeat.
Captain Nitish Rana explained the reason for the defeat after the match. He said, “The bowling did not happen according to our plan, and we can bowl better. I am very happy with the way Rinku batted and the way I batted. We tried to take the match closer, and nothing could happen. The main bowler got more runs today, but this happens when the day is not ours.”
On the other hand, Aiden Markram praised the bowlers for registering the win and said that everyone is aware of the talent of England batsman Harry Brook, who scored the first century of the 2023 edition. Markram said after the match, “Salute to the bowlers, who showed great spirit. Looking at their batting order, this score could have been safer. It was good to beat them on their home ground. We started well, and we also have depth in our batting.”
We all know his talent (Brook); he plays good cricket shots in the powerplay. Bhuvi is a reliable player, and it was a difficult wicket for the bowlers. We have to work on some areas. It’s good to improve as a team. It is expected that this rhythm will continue.
