Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) got a big wicket in the form of Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) opener Aiden Markram. KKR fast bowler Vaibhav Arora took the wicket of the Protea batsman on the first ball of the fifth over of the second innings when the visiting team was chasing the target of 181 runs at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
Due to a number of injury issues, the bowling line-up has become an inexperienced team, with Vaibhav Arora being the main fast bowler of the playing eleven. With the opening pair of Aiden Markram and Mitchell Marsh, LSG started their innings confidently. The KKR camp knew how dangerous the pair of Marsh and Markram could be for them.
At the crucial moment of the match in Kolkata, KKR’s Vaibhav Arora took the wicket of LSG opener Adam Markram.
Before losing his defence, Markram hit a few fours and a six and was playing with confidence. On the first ball of the fifth over, the batsman went to play another big shot when Rovman Powell caught him in the deep. Arora gave a fond farewell to Aiden Markram. LSG lost their first wicket tonight.
