In another video shared by KKR, senior Indian pacer Umesh Yadav can be seen taking a trip down memory lane and talking about the memorable win of Kolkata. “In the final, Punjab scored a massive total of 200. Wriddhiman Saha played a brilliant knock. We knew we could chase it down because the pitch was flat and slow. But even we lost wickets at the top. Manish Pandey batted really well, playing a knock of 94 and took the team out of trouble,” Yadav said.
