Full commentary
That is it from us for this game folks. Abhishek Purohit signing off. Cheers
Jacques Kallis is Man of the Match. Kallis: "It has been a fantastic season for us. Captain has had a fantastic season. Our wicket at Kolkata does not have this sort of carry. It was good to deliver on this sort of wicket. We are focussing on trying to end up first or second and get through to the final."
Gambhir [on his relationship with Sehwag]: "Absolutely. This is just the IPL. I have all the respect for him, He is the one I always admire."
Sehwag: "I think we were 20-25 runs short. We did not capitalise in the middle overs. Sunil Narine bowled really well. [Narine will] not work against me, I have played him and will smash him, but others might have a problem against him because he is difficult to pick. But he is a good young bowler, he is learning fast. 150-odd was not a bad total, our fielding and bowling was not upto the mark, when you are giving boundary balls, it is difficult to set a field. We decided to give the spinner [Nadeem] a chance because Gautam is batting well against the fast bowlers." Sehwag, in the age of cliches, seldom disappoints with his words
The only time this seemed like a contest was when Sehwag went after KKR at the start. It was mostly KKR after that. Sixth consecutive win for KKR; they had endured a run of eight consecutive losses in IPL 2009. Have they turned it around with this revamped team or what.
KKR have handed Delhi only their second defeat at home this season, and the third of the season. Both teams have eight wins and three losses now, but Delhi have an extra game left.
Random fact: Top three run-getters in the IPL this season are Indian, top three wicket-takers overseas
Ramprashad: "Here is the answer to the million dollar question posted earlier: DD could be a one-man dependent team. DD could very well reach 3/4 in the table and could be eliminated if Sehwag fails."
Jaffrin: "That random fact kind of sums up Indian Cricket."
EddieBhai: "That Random Fact further strengthens the belief that our batsmen are indeed flat-track bullies (not necessarily a bad thing) and overseas bowlers can produce wickets anywhere (Indian bowlers are ineffective)"
Krish: "A lot of people are commenting on DD's reliance on their top 3 guys, but KKR is no different either."
