Knight Riders VS Royal Challenge

Indian Premier League as he struck the highest-ever individual Twenty20 score to lead the Kolkata Knight Riders to a 140-run opening-match victory against the Bangalore Royal Challengers.New Zealand opener went some way to fulfilling his $700,000 price tag as he smashed 10 fours and 13 sixes to finish unbeaten on 158 from just 73 balls.
Knight Riders' Bollywood actor owner, Shah Rukh Khan, who watched on as McCullum's one-man assault led his franchise to 222 for three. It was McCullum who stole all the headlines on the opening night of this eagerly-anticipated tournament.
Following a 45-minute opening ceremony Bangalore captain Rahul Dravid won the toss and elected to field in front of a capacity crowd at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Praveen Kumar's opening over proved anti-climactic with only one run coming from the bat, a mis-timed pull by McCullum from the final ball.
But the New Zealander was quickly into his stride belting four consecutive boundaries from Zaheer Khan's next over, including a fortuitous top-edge over third man. The home reply began poorly as they lost the early wickets of Rahul Dravid (two) and Virat Kohli (one) before Jacques Kallis struck the first boundary of the innings in the fourth over, planting Ajit Agarkar over mid-off.
