It’s only 7 overs and it’s already a tale of two halves. 10/3 in 12 balls. And then the onslaught. Liked the intent from both sides. No team is willing to take a backward step. Proper battleground. 👌👏 #IPL2020 #KKRvKXIP

Good bowling on any surface or any ground is effective. The line & length that Shami was bowling was spot on.

Oh dear #KKR's brittle top order in display again. Morgan does it for England, surely he can do it for KKR. But they don't want him to bat at 4.
