IPL history: Top 5 totals by Kolkata Knight Riders

#3 IPL 2008, DC vs KKR - 204/4

Sourav Ganguly was the star performer for the Kolkata Knight Riders

The Kolkata Knight Riders played the Deccan Chargers at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium, Hyderabad on Sunday, 11th May 2018. KKR Skipper Sourav Ganguly won the toss and chose to bat on a surface which had a slightly greenish tinge.

Aakash Chopra and Salman Butt opened the batting for KKR and Butt got dismissed in the very first over by Chaminda Vaas. Ganguly came in next and built a solid partnership with Chopra.

The southpaw continued strongly even after Chopra's dismissal, and David Hussey gave him good company. Ganguly got out after scoring 91 off 57 balls but Hussey took charge and he smashed 57 off 29 balls as KKR finished off with 204 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in their quota of 20 overs.

The Deccan Chargers in reply tried to come back into the game multiple times but they never had a long-lasting partnership. They were able to score 181 runs for the loss of 7 wickets courtesy Venugopal Rao's 71 and Rohit Sharma's 33.

Man of the Match Ganguly also picked up 2 wickets to round off a spectacular performance as KKR won the match by 23 runs.
