‌KKR vs RCB | Twitter explodes as Krunal’s fiery bouncer forces Venky to helmet up before knocking him over

Eyeing to make a mark in the mega-event from the first day itself, Rajat Patidar decided to field first at Eden Gardens. Bowling on a surface that was covered for the majority of the pre-match day, Josh Hazlewood drew early blood for the visitors. However, Ajinkya Rahane and Sunil Narine played through the powerplay and consolidated a 103-run second-wicket stand before the duo’s wicket around the halfway mark made way for Venkatesh Iyer’s tactical dismissal.

After initiating the 13th over with a sharp beamer to surprise the new batter, Venkatesh, who was batting without a helmet summoned for protection. The immediate next delivery saw the all-rounder dish a length ball outside the stumps that the southpaw tried to whip outside the stumps. However, the KKR vice-captain got an inside edge back to the stumps, leading to yet another dismissal. Subsequently, Krunal was seen running high on adrenaline as he was seen jubilating the wicket, sparking a Twitterverse frenzy.
