New Delhi. Kolkata Knight Riders won the first win in the IPL by defeating Rajasthan Royals by 8 wickets in their second match. In this match, all -rounder Moin Ali was included in the playing XI in place of sick Sunil Naren. Who played an important role in KKR’s victory with his brilliant bowling. KKR’s first win this season is Moin Gadgad. He said that he is accustomed to bowling with a person who is better than him. Moin, along with Indian spinner Varun Chakraborty, taunted Royals bowlers in the middle overs and stopped the opposing team for 9 wickets for 151 runs.
Moin Ali said in a press conference after the match, ‘My job is to stop the run pace. So that he can make pressure and take wickets. I am accustomed to bowling with a person who is better than me and which has more variety than me. My job is to bowl as much as possible and hope that it will create pressure and that person will be able to take wickets. As we know that Varun is bowling well and he is a great bowler. It has improved a lot in the last two-three years. It is amazing to bowl with such a bowler.

Moin took two wickets for 23 runs in four overs against Royals. While his young spin partner Chakraborty also took two wickets for 23 runs in four overs. Narayan was not available for the match in Guwahati due to illness, so that KKR captain Ajinkya Rahane had to include the former England international player in the XI a few hours before the match. Unlike KKR spinners, Royals spinners Mahesh Terida and Vanindu Hasranga could not live up to expectations on the pitch helping slow bowlers.
Royals ‘spin bowling coach Sairaj Quite said,’ We have spinners like Hasranga and Tikrita. Who is definitely world class international players. Several times (during the match) I felt that he bowled short, while if he did not do so, the spinners would have definitely helped. TITICA did not get any wicket and conceded 32 runs in four overs while Hasranga took Rahane’s wicket and conceded 34 runs in three overs. Many said, ‘But then I think they have just come in the IPL, so now I am sure that they will have an impact in the coming matches.’
It is very much, ‘I trust all the spinners of the team, all bowlers. I just want to say that this is a young team, a very impressive team in terms of batting and bowling. I am sure they will perform well in the upcoming matches.
