“Ventakesh Iyer’s knocking marks the cricket character we want to play”: Eoin Morgan

Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) song Eoin Morgan thanked Venkatesh Iyer for his unbeaten 41 strokes against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) season 2021.

Shubman Gill scored the best goal against RCB with 48 strokes as KKR pursued a goal of 93 runs with nine goals in hand and 60 balls reserved.

With this victory, Eoin Morgan’s team has risen to fifth place in the table, while RCB remains static in third place. In KKR, Venkatesh Iyer also played 41 strokes with just 27 balls, while for RCB, Yuzvendra Chahal took a lone flush.

“Venkatesh Iyer, the way he came and played was excellent. Definitely a cricket character we want to play. Playing under head coach Brendon McCullum is the aggressive nature of cricket we want to play. Although he was aggressive, his opening partnership with Shubman Gill was beautiful to watch. , ”Morgan said at a post – match virtual press conference.

Previously, KKR hockey player Varun Chakravarthy returned in the numbers 3-13, and Andre Russell also took three goals when the RCB was involved in 92 inside 19 overs. Virat Kohl’s Devdutt Padikkal scored the best goal after 22 players.

“Yeah, I think the matches with Andre Russell really worked. The field on which it played throughout the inning was friendlier, even though Varun had an amazing day. I thought the field helped with stitches at large borders,” Morgan said.

“Yeah, there’s no doubt that this is going to be a challenge from now on, but our main goal is to come out and play cricket like with RCB. If we do, we’ll give ourselves the best chance to advance in the playoffs,” he added.

KKR will lock Horns against Mumbai Indians on Thursday in the IPL 2021 season.
