IPL 2024: Just Have To Keep Backing Yourself, Keep Taking Right Options: Salt On His 68 Runs Against DC
Indian Premier League: Kolkata Knight Riders' wicketkeeper-batter Phil Salt put the odds in his team's favour as he hammered 68 runs in 33 deliveries and added 79 runs with opener Sunil Narine in the chase of 154, which propelled the hosts to a seven-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in Match 47 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at the Eden Gardens here on Monday.
Salt had gone unsold in the auction for IPL 2024 held in December 2023. But KKR got his service for a base price of Rs. 1.5 crore after his countryman Jason Roy opted out of the tournament citing “personal reasons” and since then the star wicketkeeper-batter hasn’t disappointed the KKR fans.
On Monday, Salt hammered his fourth half-century of the season in 26 deliveries during an 18-run sixth over delivered by Khaleel Ahmed. With 392 runs off nine matches in IPL 2024, Salt now stands in the fourth position in the race for the Orange Cap.
