Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) had a shocker of half an hour in the wee hours of their second game of the IPL 2021 campaign against the Mumbai Indians as the Eoin Morgan-led side bottled chasing 31 runs off the final five overs. No one, the fans, experts, cricketers, the celebrities world over could believe what was transpiring in front of their eyes as batsmen like Dinesh Karthika and Andre Russell were finding it difficult to get the ball off the square when the run-rate was pretty much achievable.

KKR were cruising for the most part of the game and even the team management would be puzzled seeing how did they come from 104 in 13 overs to 142/7 in their 20 overs. The leg-spinner Rahul Chahar started the wickets procession in the ninth over removing the opening batsman Shubamn Gill as his first scalp of the night.

After which, Chahar just kept chipping at the wickets as he took wickets in the 11th, 13th, and the 15th over of the innings, taking wickets of Rahul Tripathi, Nitish Rana and skipper Eoin Morgan. Krunal Pandya, on the other hand, was the miser and removed Shakib Al Hasan in an important breakthrough for his team.
