KKR vs SRH Match Report

The Chepauk pitch is known for its slow bowling, which usually favours spinners and slower bowlers. Despite this, it is rare to see high-scoring matches on this ground. In the recent match in Chennai (Qualifier 2), SRH’s spin duo of Shahbaz Ahmed and Abhishek Sharma wreaked havoc in the middle of Rajasthan Royals’ innings, taking five of the seven wickets taken.
