5 memorable moments from the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Gujarat Lions match that don’t fade away

#3 The part-timers’ fight back

Dwayne Smith kept things tight in the middle overs

The start that Sunil Narine provided to the Knight Riders meant that anything under 200 would be a disappointing finish. Couple this with the fact that Robin Uthappa struck at a rate of 150, and KKR not going beyond 200 seems astonishing.

But that was due to some fine bowling from part-time bowlers, Suresh Raina and Dwayne Smith, in the middle of the first innings which brought the run-rate back to below 10. Raina ended with figures of 2-0-11-1 and Dwayne Smith gave away only 14 runs in his 2 overs. The heroics from these two, coupled with some good death-over bowling, allowed the Gujarat Lions to keep the target in sight.
