Commentator: Varun Shetty
Thanks for joining us for coverage of this match. Hope you enjoyed it. That's it from us tonight. Good night, folks.
11.50pm Rashid's six the difference? Morgan's dropped catch? That single off the last ball of the 18th over? It could be a whole bunch of things based on logic. But why should we adulterate this bizzare match with logic? It's a game to remember. Vohra might be the only one who is disappointed tonight. At least he'll have Stoinis to give him company.
Vishal: "Feeling bad for Vohra. Highest score of his T20 career and still couldn't get his team home. Will hurt him for quite a sometime."
Kabir: "5 wickets is equal to 100 runs , this was the difference between Bhuvi and Mannan, the difference between winning and loosing"
Sashi Kurucheti: "A true testimony of why the good old yorker is still the best bowling weapon in any format.. Bhuvi and Kaul win it with a couple for SRH.."
Steven: "At this rate Bhuvi is going to run away with the purple cap!"
vijay: "Spare a thought for Vohra...he scored 95 runs on a difficult pitch, read googlies of Rashid Khan correctly, did every thing, but lack of support from another end is made him to end in losing side...second highest in the team is 13..says valuable and one of the greatest innings of IPL he played"
Mash: "In the end, Rashid Khans six off the last ball proved vital."
Bhuvi: My heart is still pounding. T20 is a game where you must expect the unexpected. I've been doing this job for Sunrisers and I knew I had to bowl the 19th over. I'm used to it and I believed in myself. When I bowled the 16th or 17th over, I knew he was in good nick. I wasn't worried but wanted to make a plan instead. Warner and I planned to bowl straight yorkers and it worked.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar is the Man of the Match.
Warner: Unbelievable game of cricket. Credit to Manan for playing like that. Credit to Bhuvi too, he was unbelievable. Manan made it look easy when he cleared the ropes. He had to dig infor his team. Unfortunately only one team can win. It's great to have Bhuvi in the shed at the back end and he executed perfectly.
11.40pm Have you caught your breath? This was some game. Manan Vohra - remember when he was Punjab's strange choice for player retention a couple of seasons ago? They'd seen something. And we've seen it today, even if it isn't around for regular viewing. What an innings. The presentation shortly.
Maxwell: An outstanding game, made by a great innings by Vohra. Unfortunately he didn't have help from the rest of us. It was definitely chase-able. We did well in the middle with the ball but let is slip in the back end. To play an innings like that in a losing cause is criminal. He's a superstar. A big score like that was around the corner for him.
We knew bhuvi was going to swing it around a bit. We didn't expect the wicket to be so up and down and he bowled good lengths. We had planned for him and Rashid, but giving seven wickets to them probably did us in. We wanted to take off and get 60 in the Powerplay, but it didn't come off.
I Sharma b Kaul 2 (10m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 40.00
short fine, backward square, point, extra cover are in
7 off 4. India's designated Test nightwatchman on strike.
11 off 6. How did it come to this? It is likely that one of Kaul and Sran will bowl this....yes. It's Kaul.
