Kartik Tyagi to Travis Head, no run, that's more like - 145.8ks back of a length delivery, right at Head and he defends it to the off-side
STAT: 25 runs is the joint-most Chakravarthy conceded in an over in T20s alongside as many playing for KXIP vs KKR in 2019.
5.2
6
Kartik Tyagi to Travis Head, SIX, this is what happens when you come within his range. Kartik goes for an off-pace delivery, 117ks off-cutter but comes on nicely, Head had the width and he pumps it flat over deep extra cover. This is absolute carnage..
5.2
Kartik Tyagi to Travis Head, wide, full and outside off, Head tries his best to reach but can't, wide signalled
5.1
4
Kartik Tyagi to Travis Head, FOUR, not off the middle but in the gap and four more.. Back of a length delivery, Head makes room and does not quite time the cut, but he hits it in front of square and wide of extra cover. And once the ball passes the infield at Eden then there's no point chasing it
Kartik Tyagi, right-arm fast, comes into the attack

Varun Chakaravarthy to Abhishek Sharma, wide, tries to keep it away from Abhishek's range and sprays it outside off, wide called

Varun Chakaravarthy to Abhishek Sharma, FOUR, now a boundary. Overpitched outside off and Abhishek does not miss out, he bends the back knee and pumps it over extra cover, one bounce and over the ropes

Varun Chakaravarthy to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, six more.. Chakaravarthy goes fast and short, 108.8ks and the ball skids on, Abhishek is waiting on the back foot - nails the pull flat and all the way over long-on. Pressure on Chakaravarthy..

Varun Chakaravarthy to Abhishek Sharma, SIX, he's greeted with a six. Flighted delivery on leg, Abhishek stays leg-side and has the space to extend his hands, clean swing of the bat and the ball sails over long-on
Varun Chakaravarthy, right-arm leg break, comes into the attack
Spin from both ends now. Here's Varun..

Sunil Narine to Travis Head, no run, flatter delivery at the stumps, Head stays back and eases it to extra cover

Sunil Narine to Travis Head, 2 runs, dropped! Tough chance and Rahane can't hang on. He gets fingertips. Head comes down the track, stays leg-side and looks to go down the ground, but the ball spins away and catches the outer half, skies over extra cover and Rahane backtracks, puts in the dive but can't cling on
3.4
Sunil Narine to Travis Head, no run, same line for Head - down leg and no room, Head misses the flick and the ball deflects off the pad to short fine
3.3
Sunil Narine to Abhishek Sharma, 1 run, flighted and drifting across leg, Abhishek nudges it through mid-wicket
