Kolkata Knight Riders’
campaign in the Indian Premier League 2020 came to an end.
Following the team’s
elimination, captain Eoin Morgan posted a message on Twitter, thanking fans for
their support and vowing to come back stronger in the next IPL five months from
now. “Thank you to all of our loyal fans for your support this season. It’s now
time to take stock, learn and come back stronger #KKRHaiTaiyaar @KKRiders,”
Morgan tweeted along with a picture of the entire KKR unit.
KKR finished fifth on
the points table with 14 points from seven matches, and it was their net-run
rate that dented their chances of making the top four, with Mumbai Indians,
Delhi Capitals, Royal Challengers Bangalore, and SRH emerging as the top four teams
entering the playoffs. Morgan got the
baton of captaincy from Dinesh Karthik in the mid of the season. Under his
captaincy, KKR won 3 matches.
Morgan ended the
tournament with 418 runs from 14 matches, including a career-best 68 not out
against Rajasthan Royals in KKR’s final league game.
