Xtra Time Web Desk: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Eoin Morgan on Sunday heaped full of praise for his teammates, following the 60 runs win against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 54 of IPL 2020 at Dubai. Morgan, himself lead from the front as he was the highest run-scorer, smashing 68 runs off 35 deliveries in an innings comprising of five boundaries and six sixes. The Englishman received quality support from his bowlers who performed as a unit, to restrict RR to just 131. Australian pacer Pat Cummins was the star performer, accounting for four wickets. The sizeable triumph has propelled KKR to the fourth position on the table, with their net run-rate boosted as well.
Morgan seemed extremely content with the win, going to the extent of expressing his belief that the team had ticked all boxes, without a single lapse.
“I don’t think we could have done any more today. Whatever happens from here on is in the hands of cricketing gods,” he said during the post-match conference.
The Englishman further discussed his side’s approach in a vital clash, stating the team was eager to play a “free-flowing aggressive game”.
“I thought 191 was a par score. I think every batsman who came back said the wicket was beautiful to bat on. And the dew came in much earlier than expecting, so no real advantage for them. We were out there to play a free-flowing aggressive game anyway,” he added.
