Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) captain Eoin Morgan revealed that he couldn't see fault in any of his bowlers’ performances in the crucial game against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) on Thursday.
Notably, KKR lost the game by six wickets and with this their qualification for the playoffs became slim as they have only one game left to play.
KKR ensured CSK have a tough time in the middle-overs with Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy. While Narine bowled tight spells, the latter dismissed opener Shane Watson and captain MS Dhoni. Even Pat Cummins also cleaned up dangerous Ruturaj Gaikwad. But things got changed in the last two overs.

"One world class spinner, and the other on the cusp of playing for India. They're fantastic spinners. I can't fault any bowlers," said Eoin Morgan after the match.
CSK required 10 runs to win off the last over when the 20-year-old youngster Kamlesh Nagarkoti was handed over the responsibility. He conceded just three runs off his first four balls and just when things were looking good for KKR, Ravindra Jadeja hit consecutive sixes off the last two balls to take the game away from them.
"Nagarkoti probably didn't have enough runs to defend, would have liked 16-17. He's a young guy, he'll take it on the chin and move on," said the captain. "We probably played a bit well there. Probably on the wrong side of the loss with the toss. Our bowlers gave it everything, but the skills were a bit off. We'll have to move on quickly."
KKR captain Eoin Morgan further said that, "I think the score (172/5) was enough. We felt we were right in the game. Probably 165 was par if the wicket and conditions stayed the same. I actually think we had a good batting day.”
KKR will play their final match against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday (November 1).
