GT vs KKR: Joshua Little Gets Rid of Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana in The Same Over

GT vs KKR: Gujarat Titans’ pacer Joshua Little has grown in confidence as the IPL 2023 tournament has progressed and has bowled some stellar spells. In the GT vs KKR game, Joshua Little dismissed Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana in the same over and completely changed the complexion of the game.

Kolkata Knight Riders had put on a total of 84-2 by the end of 10 overs and were clearly aiming for a total of somewhere around 200 on a batting-friendly Eden Gardens wicket. Hardik Pandya handed over the ball to young Joshua Little to restrict the flow of runs, who did exactly what his skipper wanted him to do.

GT vs KKR: Joshua Little’s brilliant over brings Gujarat Titans back into the game

Venkatesh Iyer looked to improvise just on the first delivery bowled by the Gujarat Titans‘ pacer. Moreover, despite Iyer moving in his crease, Little decided to attack the stumps with angling in delivery to which the KKR batter looked to scoop over the fine-leg fielder.

Iyer missed his shot as the ball went in to crash onto his pads after which Joshua Little made a loud appeal and got confirmation from the on-field umpire. Venkatesh Iyer decided to go for the review but the giant screen clearly showed that the ball would have hit the middle stump.

After the dismissal of Iyer, Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Nitish Rana came in to bat with aggressive intent. Consequently, the KKR captain smashed a boundary just on the second delivery he faced and kept the momentum going for his team.

However, Joshua Little came back on the next delivery as he bowled a short and wide delivery away from Nitish Rana’s reach. The KKR skipper went for the cut shot as Rahul Tewatia grabbed a simple catch at the backward point to get rid of the dangerous batter.

Joshua Little finished with the figures of 2 for 25 off his four-over spell in the GT vs KKR game on a pitch where Rashid Khan leaked plenty of runs. Furthermore, his brilliant episode allowed Gujarat Titans to make a comeback in the contest as KKR could only post a total of 179-7.
