It makes you wonder what would have happened had Rao had more support. His unbeaten 71 was a fighting effort but it all came a little too late. Deccan in a sense lost this game in the field with some sloppy displays. Adam Gilchrist has quite a bit on his plate to sort out. The overseas players aren't chipping in enough.
Kolkata now have 8 points from as many games. We're cutting across to the next game in Jaipur shortly between Delhi and Rajasthan. Adam Gilchrist collects his orange cap for being the leading run scorer.
This is Kanishkaa signing off. Cheers!

Shukla to Venugopal Rao, no run, Rao clubs a full delivery straight back to Shukla, and that's a fairly comprehensive 23-run win for Kolkata
