Venkatesh Iyer remember this name for future .

 

[silentkiller187]

surprised to see DK completely blanked V.IYER in the dugout after he got dismissed for 67, match winning knock probably

 

[Devadwal]

Morgan averages 10.90 from 11 innings with bat in IPL2021.

 

[Justcrazy]

152 . 5

11 balls to go , need to explode here and get maximum runs

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR would be a tad disappointed here , they not getting boundaries here

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR have lost the momentum here

 

[Justcrazy]

166 is the target , Punjab would be happy here.

 

[Justcrazy]

KKR looks like are 15 runs short here , need to take early wickets to be in the game

 

[Justcrazy]

Dropped by Morgan at cover!

 

[Justcrazy]

Very good start by Punjab , KKR need some wickets here

 

[Justcrazy]

Punjab Kings need 117 runs in 81 balls.


Punjab have all wickets in hand , they are well ahead in the game

[Justcrazy]

OUT

Varun gets breakthrough, its a bit late now.

 

[Smbhayi]

Pathetic umpiring that is.. 2nd leg 3rd umpiring very poor this season..

 

[Ab Fan]

That was out for me.

 

[Ab Fan]

Shahrukh Khan wins it against Shahrukh Khan's team.

 

[JattMaula]

Pathetic umpiring that is.. 2nd leg 3rd umpiring very poor this season..

Absolutely horrendous umpiring.

 

[prakash]

This guy Shahrukh from my state TN speaks so well in post game interview. Solid 22(9) in Punjab's win.

Venkatesh Iyer from TN is also a good find for KKR.

 

[Ab Fan]

Rahul didn't deserve to be awarded MOM. It should have been to Arshdeep or Venky Iyer.
