LSG vs KKR: Watch - Avesh Khan Puts KKR In Further Trouble; Castles Nitish Rana With A Yorker
Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) pacers continued dominating the proceedings against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Saturday, with Avesh Khan being the latest to spell trouble for Shreyas Iyer and co.
After being set a competitive target of 177, KKR needed a good start. Unfortunately for them, the first over of the chase bowled by Mohsin Khan was a wicket-maiden, setting the precedent for the rest of the innings.
Two more wickets fell soon after, with Jason Holder and Dushmantha Chameera picking one each. Not wanting to be left out, Avesh then joined in on the action and sent back Nitish Rana.
Coming in from around the wicket, Avesh went all in for a yorker at the base of off-stump. Nitish tried to make room and cut but got an inside edge that crashed into the stumps.
