IPL season 3 start proved to be a success for Kolkatta Knight Riders as they defeated last year champions Deccan Chargers by 11 runs in the opening match at D.Y. Patil stadium at Navi Mumbai.

Knight Riders got to the worst start that they could hope for.1st ball of the IPL 3 ,Manoj Tiwary out for a duck ,in the same over Sourav Ganguly also became victim of Chaminda Vaas and every one thought the same old days are back for KKR but brilliant innings played by both Angelo Matthews and Owais Shah ensure that KKR reach a fighting total.

Deccan Chargers started there innings in great style with VVS Laxman and Adam Gilchrist raming KKR bowlers.Murali Kartik provided the first break through.Adam Gilchrist batted well for his 50 but when he fell the wickets started tumbling for Deccan Chargers and they could’nt recover.

Kolkatta Knight Riders deserve all the Kudos for handling the pressure well and played like a Unit
