KKR won for the first time due to the giant’s plan
Till now 3 matches were played between Lucknow Super Giants and Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League and Lucknow won every time. This figure changed this season and Kolkata won for the first time. All this is the result of the plan of a veteran who was earlier a part of the Lucknow team. We are talking about Gautam Gambhir who is associated with Kolkata as a mentor this season. When KKR lost in the last three matches, they were making serious plans for Lucknow.
