Mumbai, April 16: After Kolkata Knight Riders failed to chase a modest target of 112 against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL match, former South Africa wicketkeeper and coach Mark Boucher slammed the defending champions' approach, saying they "batted themselves into a hole."슬롯 머신 사이트 추천 The three-time champions were bowled out for just 95, handing Punjab a historic 16-run win as they defended the lowest total ever in the tournament슬롯사이트™s history.

KKR looked in control during a 55-run partnership between Ajinkya Rahane (17 off 17) and Angkrish Raghuvanshi (37 off 28) after being 7/2 early in the innings. However, with just 50 runs needed from 74 balls, the team spectacularly collapsed to 79/8, eventually getting bundled out inside 16 overs.
"It's not like a 140 or 150, and it's not like a 60-run target. It was a total that was always gonna be awkward. It's a total that as a batting team, you슬롯사이트™re expected to go out and get it. I just think that they batted themselves into bit of a hole.
"They got off to a decent start after the two wickets and then they came out being quite tentative. Which is quite strange, from a team that's just come off on the back of a win. So yeah, I just don't think that the batters that came in were batting at the intensity that they needed to," said Boucher on Star Sports.

Former India batter Robin Uthappa echoed Boucher슬롯사이트™s sentiment and said, "In this kind of a situation, 111 and 112, in that sense, is a double-edged sword. It's like getting 120 in a T20 game, it슬롯사이트™s like 6 runs an over; it's easy peasy. But if you don't get the right start as a batting unit, you're under pressure. And suddenly a lot of these thoughts come through your head. Well, I'm flabbergasted."
"For KKR's sake, they just imploded. It's like they puked all over that innings after a point because they were 62 for 2. And from there, they were 79 for 8,슬롯사이트� said Uthappa.
Following the defeat, KKR dropped to sixth in the IPL 2025 points table with three wins and four losses from seven games. They슬롯사이트™ll aim to bounce back when they face Gujarat Titans at Eden Gardens on April 21.
