Shubman Gill played a chanceless knock to help Kolkata Knight Riders humble SunRisers Hyderabad by seven wickets in the 8th match of IPL 2020.
SRH captain David Warner won the toss and surprisingly opted to bat first, and they could manage only 142/4 despite a 38-ball 50 from Manish Pandey.
Pat Cummins, the most expensive overseas player in the league’s history, showed his worth by producing a good spell of four overs (1/19). KKR chase got off to a bad start with Sunil Narine and skipper Dinesh Karthik getting out for ducks.
But Gill showed maturity by playing a controlled innings. And with Eoin Morgan, the 21-year-old made sure the target was achieved without much fuss. And with that, KKR registered their first win of the season.
