Debutant smaran

Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Varun Chakaravarthy led a strong bowling effort as Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bowled out Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) for 165 in 19 overs at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on Sunday, despite a blazing start from the openers.

Batting first after winning the toss, SRH got off to a flying start with Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head attacking from the very beginning. KKR opened with Sunil Narine, but the move did not work as SRH collected nine runs from the first over.

Travis Head then took charge in the second over, hitting Vaibhav Arora for four boundaries, while Abhishek rotated the strike well. SRH raced to 37 runs by the end of the third over.
