Shubman Gill’s mature innings helped Kolkata Knight Riders notch up their first win of IPL 2020 with a fair degree of ease. The KKR opener scored 70 off 62 balls to help his team chase down SRH’s 142/4 with 12 balls to spare.
KKR lost a few quick wickets in their chase and were reduced to 53/3 before Gill found a willing partner in Eoin Morgan. Together, they put on an unbroken stand of 92 off 70 balls as KKR cantered to a seven-wicket victory.
On the day, SRH had no answers. Gill and Morgan (42 off 29) played with control and did not feel pressured at any point.
Gill’s innings was particularly impressive as he just did all the right things. He wasn’t trying to impress anyone by playing big shots. This was all about winning the match and it showed.
