THE MAGIC OF KALLIS
On a high after playing a crucial role in Kolkata Knight Riders' stunning Indian Premier League win over defending champions Mumbai Indians, Manish Pandey said reuniting with Jacques Kallis, the veteran with whom he previously played in the Royal Challengers Bangalore team, helped him rediscover some lost form.
Pandey's 64 and Kallis' 72 were the cornerstones of KKR's 163-run total, which helped them clinch a 41-run win over the fancied Mumbai. The duo's 131-run stand was the highlight of the IPL's opening match on Wednesday. (Reuniting with Kallis helped me: Pandey)
