Manish Kolkata\\\'s macho man: KKR lift 2nd IPL title
Monday, 2 June 2014
Riding on Manish Pandey's brilliant 50-ball 94, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) have won their 2nd Indian Premier League ( IPL) title in three years with a 3-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab. Manish Pandey’s innings made sure Wriddhiman Saha’s valiant 115 goes in vain at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore on Sunday night. Put in to bat, the Kings XI were powered to a strong 199-4 by Saha’s maiden and brilliant century after they suffered an early setback. In reply, Pandey’s 94 anchored the 2012 edition champions to victory with three balls to spare. The Kolkata-based outfit becomes only the second team to win two titles after the Chennai Super Kings in 2010 and 2011, according to a news agency.
