It's party time for Knight Riders

21 April 2008

Wild celebrations started out there for the Knight Riders and the team owner Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan following the 140-run win over Bangalore Royal Challengers in the opening match of the Indian Premier League yesterday. Brendon McCullum produced a scintillating 73-ball knock of 158, which happens to be the highest individual total in T20 games. The Kiwi wicket-keeper batsman single handedly took the Kolkata team past 200-run mark, punishing all the bowlers mercilessly before a packed house.
