Match number 19 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 has gone in favour of the visiting team Sunrisers Hyderabad against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a brilliant high scoring match.
Batting first after losing the toss, Sunrisers Hyderabad scored a brilliant 228 runs thanks to a brilliant Hundred by Hyderabad’s Harry Brook.
Chasing the target, KKR lost their first 3 wickets very quickly in the powerplay, but then captain Nitish Rana and Narayan Jagadeeshan ensured a brilliant comeback in the powerplay itself.
While Jagadeeshan departed, captain Nitish Rana remained there and still gave a hope to KKR fans. Andre Russell also failed again.
While Rinku Singh pulled off a brilliant heist in the last over in the last match, he couldn’t the same today as they needed more than 30 runs in the final over. However, he still played a brilliant inning of 58 runs. See how Twitterati reacted.
Rana and Rinku put up a valiant fight for KKR, but no miracle for them tonight as Brook's century gives Sunrisers the win 👏https://t.co/YTTZ1pGNHC | #KKRvSRH | #IPL2023 pic.twitter.com/y2FOCV4P48

Do you know? When 31 required off 4 balls. 1.6CR people still had a believe that Kolkata can win the match.
