Sourav Ganguly Kolkata Knight RidersFormer Indian Skipper Sourav Ganguly played his best knock in the IPl, a sweet 88 from 54 balls to set up a comprehensive victory for hosts Kolkata Knight Riders over Deccan Chargers. KKR batting first could put up an impressive 181 for 6 courtsey of that knock. Ganguly struck 9 fours along with 5 sixes.

Deccan Chargers got to a nice platform early on thanks to a 45-ball 50 from Herschelle Gibbs but the chase was devoid of any destructive hitting. Andrew Symonds struggled to get going as he faced 37 balls to score only 45 runs at the crucial juncture of play. The Knight Riders bowled superbly in the middle overs with the pacers getting the ball to reverse swing and mixing them up with the slower ones. Murali Kartik was pretty good as well in curtailing the run flow with his tight lines as DC could finish with only 157 for 5.
