Kolkata calling

It was a dominant champion performance by the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in Kolkata on Thursday, where they had decimated the most likely winner this season. They had a rollicking opening match against Rajasthan Royals (RR), whose bowlers were carted all over the Hyderabad park, to notch up their highest target of this season. After their lightning rise against RR, it seems the sun has failed to even rise in the east. Wicket-keeper batter Ishan Kishan has once again proved that he is a one-game player, when he scored a century against RR. If they continue to play like this, we are afraid whether they could even reach the playoff stage. Well, in IPL anything could change in a jiffy.
