Harshit Rana deletes Abhishek Sharma 2
Kolkata Knights Knight Bowlers defended 200 times and their team got a good start when Vaibhav Arora removed Travis Head in the first match, with Harshit Rana removing Abhishek Sharma in the second match.
On the last ball on the second, Harshit Rana hit a slower ball down to Abhishek Sharma of off the Off-Tump. Abhishek Sharma reached out and her bottom hand fell off. The ball rotates from the edge and reaches directly into venkatesh iyer’s hand.
Harshit Rana brought a flying kiss celebration after rejecting SRH opener Abhishek Sharma’s 6-goal 2. But he reversed that after being punished by the governing body last season as he was seen to the crowd rather than the batsman.

Should SRH change the method of hitting?
In an interaction between Espncricinfo before KKR’s conflict with SRH, Aakash Chopra was asked whether Sunrisers Hyderabad should consider using bats to change their approach. In response to this, he said the team led by Pat Cummins should consider this in the second half. He explained in detail:
“You can think about it in the second half of the T20 inning. The way they play and the firepower they allow. They get a driver’s license. At the beginning, you’ll walk like a horse. You don’t have to stop. You have to hit every ball, which is great.
“But if, like in Vizag, there’s a game in the afternoon. You’re losing a wicket. Everyone is hitting, but they’re losing the wicket. Arriving over 13 times, you’ve lost 7 wickets. Now, 7 wickets are gone. Now there are 7 wickets left. Now, everyone should maximize, optimize, optimize, optimize.
“So, for that, play all 20 times. If you play all 20 times, you will optimize it. Otherwise, if you don’t play 15 goals, then optimization or maximization will be invalid. So, I think the second half of the T20 inning can at least reevaluate where you stand. If you think you’re going to run or not run, you won’t even play 200 competitions, which is a 200 stage, a 200 competition, a 200 competition, a 200 competition, a 200 competition, a 200 competition, a 200 competition, a 200 competition, a 200 competition, a 200 competition, a 200 competition, a 200 competition, a 200 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 20 competition, a 2
