ovid-19 epidemic in India.
The Punjab Kings team could not keep pace with the new pitch and could only manage 123 runs for nine wickets. KKR reached the target by losing five wickets with 20 balls remaining with the help of man of the match Morgan’s not out 47 and Rahul Tripathi’s 41 runs. This is KKR’s second win in six matches. Morgan said after the match, ‘This victory did not come easily. Our bowlers performed well and controlled the bowling and restricted Punjab to a low score. We will continue to work hard and move forward with strength. ‘
Regarding young fast bowler Shivam Mavi for four consecutive overs, Morgan said, “Mavi’s figures were good in front of Gayle, so I got him four overs. I never make a bowler get three consecutive overs. Morgan said that his team is aware of the situation of Kovid-19 in India and wants to contribute to combat the epidemic. He said, ‘We are trying to contribute to what is happening outside. On behalf of KKR, I wish everyone. ‘
