Ross Taylor is the Man of the Match for his miraculous innings

The game of cricket is always unpredictable. Kolkata Knight Riders did everything right today for almost 9/10ths of the entire match but in the last 1/10th part of the match, Ross Taylor went crazy and took the game away from Kolkata. He played an exciting knock batting at better than 2 runs a ball and making up for all his failures so far in this IPL. He was well supported by Boucher who played prudently and allowed Taylor to dominate all the limelight. Eventually, the Royal Challengers pulled off the highest successful run chase in this IPL. It was 3 overs of total madness and McCullum could not believe it.

Kolkata Knight Riders demonstrated a bit of steadiness in their batting today. Of course, they never really took off and scored at a blistering rate, but they built a stable innings and finished up with a pretty fine total. McCullum played a very rational knock and paced the innings very well. He started off playing some aggressive shots, then checked himself to hang around as Kolkata lost a few wickets and then he went berserk in the last few overs to give Kolkata the right impetus towards the end. 36 runs came off the last two overs. He was ably supported by David Hussey whose aggressive approach helped McCullum bide his time. Kolkata have gone on to register their highest score in IPL 2009.
