Instead, Karnataka medium-pacer Sreenath Aravind and Punjab legspinner Rahul Sharma got the call-up which has been aimed to strengthen the bowling.

Kolkata Knight Riders secured their maiden win in IPL 4 by beating Deccan Chargers by nine runs at the Eden Gardens here on Monday. Chasing a target of 164, DC stuttered after it after it lost both the openers for 15 runs.  KKR opened their bowling with left-arm slow bowler Iqbal Abdulla which paid rich dividends as he took three wickets for 24 runs to seal the win. Only Bharat Chipli (48) held the innings together while the rest of the batsmen failed to come in grips with the run chase.
