IPL 2018: 3 Masterstrokes from KKR vs SRH game

#2 Effective usage of Knuckleball by Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Bhuvi used the knuckleball to great effect

Missing out on the previous game, Bhuvneshwar Kumar was back in the business against the Knight Riders at Kolkata.

The most dependable bowler for his team and being the captain’s deputy, the onus was on him to lead the attack for his side. And he did it with absolute ease, bagging three wickets at crucial stages.

One of his recent weapons that comes to the fore in T-20 cricket has been the knuckleball that has helped him fetch many wickets in the death overs.

The king of swing has used this slower ball variation to deceive batsmen of International recognition.

Even in this game, he got two wickets using this ball, getting the pace off the delivery which makes it difficult for the batsmen to get the flow of runs going.
