KKR vs SRH Match Number 3 TATA IPL 2024 At Eden Gardens Kolkata

 KKR won by 4 runs while SRH tried their best to snatch this game from KKR. Heinrich Klaasen of Sunrisers Hyderabad  SRH very nearly stole victory away from the KKR  home side at Eden Gardens on Saturday, but 22-year-old Harshit Rana successfully defended 12 off the final over to take Kolkata Knight Riders over the line in a last-ball thriller.KKR also had Andre Russell, Phil Salt and Ramandeep Singh to thank. From a position of 51 for 4 in the first innings, KKR rebuilt courtesy Salt's 40-ball 54 on KKR debut and a 17-ball 35 from Ramandeep Singh. Russell put the finishing touches to the KKR innings by smacking seven sixes in his 25-ball unbeaten 64.

Right from the 17th over, had butterflies in my stomach. Felt anything could happen in the last over. They needed 13 runs and we didn't have the most experienced bowler. But I had the belief in him, and I told him to back himself and it doesn't matter what happens. He was a bit nervous coming in, and I just looked him in the eye and told him 'this is your moment, buddy.' Told him to back himself and doesn't matter what happens in the game. They have such experience. Great to see Andre perform with bat and ball, and even Sunny was splendid with the ball. Fantastic to have them around. Always gives you motivation when you start with a win. This game also gives us a lot of learnings, there is a lot we will take from this ground. I think fielding is an area we need to improve on. It was so loud out there, it was difficult to signal to the other players from the deep.
