Pat Cummins entered the game in the middle and immediately established a boundary. On four, Kuldeep removes Cummins. Despite taking DRS, Cummins was given out and was sent back with 4 runs in 3 balls. The on-field umpire called it out as the ball was shaving the leg stump. The TV Umpire declared, “Umpire’s Call.”
While Kolkata fans were hoping for a similar batting display today, Cummins was unable to repeat his performance against Mumbai and was removed.
In the previous game against Mumbai, he had a blazing 56.
While chasing 216 for triumph against Delhi Capitals at the Brabourne Stadium, Kolkata Knight Riders lost Venkatesh Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane early. Kolkata continued to lose wickets at regular intervals, and Kuldeep Yadav exacerbated the problem by taking a four-fer against his former team.
