The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) openers have managed to put a double-digit partnership only once in the last five matches at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Out of the five instances, one came during the 22nd match of the IPL 2024 between the defending champions Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and KKR which was played on Monday.

The Knight Riders openers Phil Salt and Sunil Narine managed to stay on the crease for only one ball as the former was dismissed on the first ball of the innings of the fixture which was bowled by right-arm seamer Tushar Deshpande.

The score in other four matches were 1 (2), 19 (9), 6 (6), and 4 (6).
