Manvinder Bisla News

So far, three Indian cricketers -- Manvinder Bisla, Manpreet Gony and Kumar Boresa -- were named among 439 foreign players for a draft for the new Bangladesh Premier League season.

Royal Challengers Bangalore acquired Manvinder Bisla from Kolkata Knight Riders and traded Parthiv Patel to Mumbai Indians. The IPL window closes on December 12.

Morne Morkel became the third player, after Australian batsman Chris Lynn and Bangladesh all-rounder Shakib al Hasan to be unavailable for the Indian Premier League champions Kolkata Knight Riders during the upcoming Champions League T20.

KKR's Sunil Narine grabbed the purple cap in process with amazing figures of 4/22. All other bowlers - L Balaji (2/22), Jacques Kallis (2/17) and Sachithra Senanayake (1/17)

When Gambhir was stumped by Dinesh Yagnik off Watson on Friday, it looked that the batsman again exchanged some words with Dravid before walking off.

Kolkata Knight Riders beat Rajasthan Royals by 8 wickets at the Eden Gardens.

Gilchrist's place in the starting XI has been under scrutiny - his 27 on Friday took his aggregate to only 94 from eight innings - but he said he was committed to contributing to Punjab's efforts.

Kallis and Morgan, who shared partnerships of 66 and 72 runs with him, respectively, helped Bisla along in his effort. "Kallis is a strong sportsperson. He was desperate to play and contribute. That's why he is one of the legends of the game," said Bisla, the awe in his voice palpable.

Kolkata Knight Riders' six-wicket win on Friday is their sixth in eleven games against Kings XI Punjab at the IPL - winning % 54.54. Here are some of the other statistical highs from the game played at the Eden Gardens.
