IPL 10 GL vs KKR: Lynn-Gambhir onslaught hands 10-wicket defeat to Gujarat

Rajkot: Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) put up a great show of dominance with the bat in their first Indian Premier League (IPL) season 10 match against Gujarat Loins (GL) by registering an emphatic 10-wicket win with 31 balls remaining at the Saurashtra Cricket Association stadium here on Friday.

Chris Lynn played a tremendous 93-run innings, decorated with 6 fours and 8 massive sixes. He took just 41 balls to play such a brilliant inning. He was well accompanied by captain Gautam Gambhir who not only was sensible but also aggressive at the same time during his 76-run inning which came off 48 balls. He smashed 12 boundaries in his eye-catching inning.

None of the Gujarat bowlers had anything to celebrate as all of them, except Praveen Kumar (0/13 in 2 overs), gave away runs with an economy rate of 10 or more.

GL did some serious fielding mistakes throughout the match which eventually caused them a massive defeat right at the beginning of the tournament.
