There was a point in the match, when Sunil Gavaskar was fuming over a decision by KKR player Vaibhav Arora. It happened on the final delivery of the 18th over. he was convinced that Kuldeep Yadav was LBW, though by the looks of it, the ball was seemingly going down leg. He forced KKR captain Shreyas Iyer to go for the review. The DRS clearly showed that the ball was missing the stumps.
It left Gavaskar an angry man. "Shocking review. Absolute shocker. What a waste of a review. Should have thought about this team. Look that there are 11 balls left. Kuldeep Yadav is playing well. It's a 29-run partnership," Sunil Gavaskar said on air during the match.
Meanwhile, Kolkata Knight Riders' Sunil Narine eclipsed Lasith Malinga's record for most wickets at a particular venue in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday.
Narine impressed with the ball during KKR's win over Delhi Capitals with figures of 1/24 in his four-over spell.
He claimed Axar Patel's wicket in the first innings which marked his 69th wicket at the iconic Eden Gardens in the IPL which is most by a bowler at a particular venue in the cash-rich league.
Before him Malinga held the record with a whopping 68 scalps at Wankhede which he took during his prolific career.
