Had it not been for the washed-out game against Perth Scorchers, reigning IPL champions Kolkata Knight Riders could have reached the semifinal of CL T20, said all-rounder Jacques Kallis.
KKR bid adieu to CLT20 with a big win over Titans on Sunday and Kallis said it was ‘a pity’ that KKR did not start the tournament on perfect note. ‘It’s a pity we didn’t start of the tournament like this. I felt that we started playing some good cricket in Durban (against Scorchers) but sadly the weather stopped us from getting through to the next round. That was disappointing,’ Kallis said. ‘This was a perfect game for us. We batted really well and paced the innings nicely. Then we bowled with the intensity we needed to bowl with. This was a nice way to end campaign,’ he added.
