Shivam Dube and Riyan Parag added 60-plus runs, rescued the team and then Rahul Tewatia’s good cameo took them to 177. Although it wasn’t enough, the team will be glad to see the youngsters standing up when needed.
Kolkata Knight Riders had a similar situation in the last match where their bowlers went for plenty and their top-order failed.

Most importantly, Pat Cummins showed that he is more than a capable batter when he almost took the team home. It was a heartbreaking finish but certainly full mark for his efforts.
