IPL 2024: Really Like The Eden Gardens Wicket; Have Loved It, Says Phil Salt After Unbeaten 89
Kolkata Knight Riders: After smashing a blistering 89 not out off 47 balls to carry Kolkata Knight Riders to a comprehensive eight-wicket win over Lucknow Super Giants, wicketkeeper-opener Phil Salt said he really liked batting at the Eden Gardens pitch in Sunday’s match.
Salt blazed away from the power-play to hit 14 fours and three sixes in his unbeaten knock, also his second fifty of the ongoing season, to complete KKR’s chase with 26 balls to spare, as the hosts’ maintained their second place in the points table by moving to eight points.
“Before the lights came on, I felt it was a little slower. When they came on, there was a bit more moisture to allow the ball to slide on, so it got a bit better for our innings. In India, this (Eden Gardens pitch) is probably the most similar to home. Ball bounces a bit more and you can aim squarer. Really like the wicket here. I have loved it,” he said after collecting the Player of the Match award.
