KKR vs SRH, 38th match at Kolkata, , May 04 2015 - Ball by Ball Commentary

And that's a wrap. Thanks for your company and your comments. Time to crash, if not the IPL, then in to my bed. Buh-bye

Totally forgot about the Man of the Match, says Pommie Mbangwa, and it will be Umesh Yadav. "Warner's wicket was very important. We knew that if we bowled wide, we will get hit. So we kept it at the stumps. As a fast bowler, I have to be focussed on my fitness and my strategy"

And they're going off from the presentation.... where's the man of the match?!

"It was a very professional effort, after Sunrisers put us in. 165 on this wicket was very good. Still we wanted someone to bat till the 15th over to get 180. Very satisfied with the boys hitting the ball for us," Gambhir says, "Have got someone like Russell, and if he'd fired we could have gotten 190. It was a very flat wicket, except for Hoggy. And then Umesh getting the first two wickets in the first over, he set the game up. We thought that Tendo could give us a couple of overs and we wanted to lengthen the batting and play freely. It's a psychological boost for us if we knew we batted deep. And with Johan and his experience in the death as well. Piyush bowled well as well. Been very unlucky with the weather and with a proper 40 over game, we have the personnel to play really well"

"Obviously we didn't start well, we didn't set the tone from ball one. 150-160 to keep them under, but when we lose two-three wickets in the first 10 was too much. That's what happens in this format. Yadav bowled fantastic and allowed KKR's spinners to play their way," Warner says, "The next five games are on good wickets and our bowlers have been defending well so we're looking forward to playing there on those good wickets" ---- Gee, you'd almost think he didn't like playing on this slow, sluggish, gripping pitch?

Sai: "Looks like 6 teams are competing for 3 spots. Interesting matches ahead."

ArjunMarati: "Required RR 216.00 :o frustrating moment for SRH fan :) "

11.30 pm As comprehensive as any victory we've seen in the IPL. Umesh Yadav struck twice in the first over. Then Brad Hogg and Piyush Chawla ran away with the game on a tailor-made pitch for the defending champions. Their eight overs cost only 33, and fetched three wickets. Sunrisers were six down in the 12th over with only Moises Henriques producing something of substance.

Steyn's the last man in

Six balls left, 38 runs needed. Knight Riders have dictated terms. And Russell's going to test his fitness

Srikanth: "I am seeing two versions of game in same match.KKR batting is like T20 and SRH its like test match 5th day!!"
