The 14th edition of the Indian Premier League began in a very engaging way. The first two matches have been quite exciting. Today marks the 3rd match of the league, where the Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders will battle at Chennai’s MA Chidambaram Stadium. Rashid Khan and Ben Cutting will be the two players to watch out for from both teams, respectively.
Both the camps have sweated hard so far in the nets and would be hoping to carry their best form on the ground. Sunrisers Hyderabad star Rashid Khan took to his Instagram to showcase his happiness of playing their first game this year. He posted a photo of the practice session yesterday and captioned it as, All ready for tomorrow game, along with adding the orange heart emoji for the Orange Army.
However, this took an exciting turn as Ben Cutting’s wife Erin Holland posted a hilarious comment on Rashid Khan’s post. Ben Cutting has been the part of the KKR side for this year’s IPL hence supporting her husband, Erin Holland tried to take a dig at Rashid Khan. She commented, “Mmmm, sorry but I think go KKR this time”.
This comment has got viral as it has already fetched more than 250 likes. However, Rashid Khan also joined the banter as he, later on, replied to Erin. He commented ‘No’ adding some laughing emoji to it.
Can KKR tackle Rashid Khan tonight?
Rashid Khan can be a game-changer for the SRH lineup with his mystery spin bowling skills. However, with Andre Russell at the other end, it would be a nail-biting battle to watch out for.
And on the other hand, Ben Cutting’s presence in the KKR side can give them a good boost in the all-rounders’ department as he can be handy with both bat and ball.
It would be interesting to see whether he gets the chance to feature in the playing XI as Kolkata Knight Riders already have some star foreigners like Eoin Morgan, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine and Lockie Ferguson in their squad.
