This player became the biggest villain of Kolkata’s defeat, the team’s crores of rupees in water – Cross Talk India

The Kolkata team has lost in another match in the IPL. This defeat will also give more grief to the team, because it has found it in the Eden Gardens of Kolkata. The team had a chance to score two points, but Gujarat dashed all his expectations. If someone is directly responsible for the defeat of the team, then he is Venkatesh Iyer, who appeared in T20 also playing a Test -like innings. Runs are not coming out of his bat. So far, he has been able to score only one half -century for his team, while the team spent crores of money in the auction for him.

Venkatesh Iyer came after Kolkata fell two wickets

Venkatesh Iyer has emerged as the biggest villain of Kolkata’s defeat. The Gujarat team came out to bat first and scored 198 runs in 20 overs. However, according to the kind of batting team, these runs were rare. This was not a score that could not be chased. Kolkata had the first blow in the first over, when Mohammad Siraj dismissed Rahmanullah Gurbaz for one run. After this, captain Ajinkya Rahane came to the crease. On the other hand, Sunil Narayan also started walking after scoring only 17 runs. At number four, the team sent its most expensive player to play. They are Venkatesh Iyer. When the team chases a target of about 200 runs, it is required to bat.

Venkatesh could not hit a single four or six

Ajinkya Rahane, who was shocked to be a Test player, was scoring fast, but Venkatesh Iyer was seen batting comfortably in Test style. Runs were not being scored by them. When he scored 14 runs on 18 balls, he tried to play a big stroke for the first time, but the shot played on the 19th ball could not cover the full distance and Washington Sundar dismissed him. Iyer did not hit a single four and six in his 14 -run innings.

Iyer has been bought by Kolkata for Rs 23.75 crore

Kolkata had Venkatesh Iyer in his court for Rs 23.75 crore. He is the most expensive player in the team, but he has not been able to do anything special for his team yet. He scored six runs against RCB and after that he was dismissed by scoring only three runs against Mumbai. Against Sunrisers Hyderabad only, he definitely had a fiery innings of 60 runs with his bat. After this, he also scored 45 runs against LSG. He was dismissed by scoring only seven runs against Punjab. Now on Monday, he played a very poor innings of 14 runs on 19 balls. If they had scored properly, then perhaps Kolkata’s team could have moved towards victory, but this could not happen.
