KKR’s comprehensive victory over SRH served as a reminder that while pitch conditions can be a talking point, they do not dictate the outcome of matches. KKR let their game do the talking, proving that playing good cricket is all that truly matters.

These quick wickets put KKR in trouble early in the match. Captain Ajinkya Rahane brought stability to KKR’s innings after both openers fell early. He scored a calm 38 off 27 balls and built a vital partnership with Angkrish Raghuvanshi.
