Funniest Memes from KKR vs CSK Mid-Innings of Match 57

Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and opted to bat first in Match 57 of the ongoing edition of the Indian Premier League against Chennai Super Kings at the Eden Gardens. They ended up posting 179/6 at the end of 20 overs.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz departed early on, scoring only 11 off nine. The hosts raced to 67/1 at the end of the powerplay. Noor Ahmad struck twice in his first over to get rid of Sunil Narine (26 off 17) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi (one off two). Both of these dismissals involved MS Dhoni with the gloves.

Ajinkya Rahane was dismissed just a couple of runs short of his half-century. Andre Russell’s entertaining 21-ball 38-run cameo to an end at the end of the 17th over. Manish Pandey (36 off 28) and Ramandeep Singh (four off four) remained unbeaten. Noor ended up with a four-wicket haul.

“(On his thoughts about the innings) Maybe ten runs, just from my side (short). I could have gotten two or three big hits. Happy that Russell did his job, and so did Rinku. The wicket is slow, and we have top quality-spinners, and if they can do (their job), we will be good to go. Thought I will stay there for a while and take the team through, hoping we can bowl well and win this game. Our fast bowlers are doing a really good job. The top two spinners are winning us games all the way, and backing our bowlers,” Manish Pandey said after the end of first innings on air.
