#2 Eliminator: 3/19 vs Kolkata Knight Riders

Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Performing when it matters is an ability that requires special something. It seems like Bhuvneshwar Kumar possesses that coveted skill in abundance as this was the first of the final three games in the knockout where he performed superbly.

In the first eliminator against the Kolkata Knight Riders, SRH had to defend 162 runs in order to have any chance of qualifying for the final.

Now KKR’s batting line up is one made carved from a fine specimen. However, he rattled their batsmen with his superb death bowling—consisting of toe-breaking yorkers—that helped him end with figures of 19 for 3 in his 4 overs.

The dangerous looking Manish Pandey was his first victim and he cleaned up the tail as Rajagopal Sathish and Jason Holder fell late in the match as Bhuvi helped SRH round off a 22-run win.
