That's all we have for you. Thank you for your company tonight. Now off to bed with you.

Yusuf Pathan is Man of the Match, "Batting has been going well, and even in crucial times, its working well so very happy. After batting like that and winning the match against RCB, I got a lot of confidence and I hope it continues. Not thinking about anything. I'm just playing freely"

"Obviously have been losing a lot of tosses. We were looking to bat first, lost the toss and that's what I've been doing for a while," Gambhir says, "Still things are going well. Still have a long way to go, hopefully in the crunch situations I can start winning it. Bowlers were very professional. We thought our fast bowlers started off really well on this wicket. Qualify spinners don't need surfaces, they can beat the batsmen in the air. [Having four men close for MS Dhoni] I have more confidence in the bowlers, always see who the bowler is not the batsman. I have a lot of trust in Piyush and Narine. Didn't think it was MS. I don't wan to jinx it [Yusuf's form]"

Presentation time So for the first time in nine years of IPL, Dhoni will not play in the playoffs. . He says, Maybe 135-140 would have been a good score. We kept losing wickets in the middle overs, so there was too much pressure on the lower order. What's important is for someone from the top order to bat through, specially on a slow wicket like this. And if we lose wickets, we can't lose wickets in clumps because the new batsman can't work the ball around easily. Getting a partnership going is important. I said it was important to play freely, even if you are going in to bowl. We can tick off one more box. We have had a lot of injuries, but we haven't had a rain-affected loss. With just nine overs, and they have 10 wickets, and the first three overs were Powerplay, it was difficult. We were on the receiving end. It's okay. Two more to go.

12.10 am Well, it took a lot longer than we thought but the expected result has panned out after Knight Riders' spinners had done their bit in the first innings. Piyush Chawla and Sunil Narine gave away only 31 runs in 46 balls. That's fantastic wicket, not to mention the two wickets Chawla took.

Yusuf walks off the field with his bat tucked under his elbow, gets a pat on his head from younger brother and Supergiants allrounder Irfan Pathan

4.1
Zampa to Pandey, no run

starts with the flipper on middle and off, Pandey had been sucked in thinking it was a short ball set to turn away. Had to hurry into a cut

Someone masquerading as Zampa: "You take six wickets and still don't get the next game. Moral: Winning matters :)"
