Full commentary
11.32pm What an innings from Rohit. He has stayed till the end and has produced another sensational performance at Eden Gardens. A tough chase made easy by Rohit and cameos from Buttler, McClenaghan and Parthiv. Andre Russell was poor towards the end, just didn't use the change in pace, which was effective all day from all bowlers. Dished out easy deliveries repeatedly and was punished. Rohit played anchor and got the contributions that was required from the other end. So, Mumbai get on the board with a quality win against a quality opposition.
Rohit Sharma, the Man of the Match: "It's a high-scoring ground anyway. We have played enough cricket to that. They got 10-15 runs extra but we held them up pretty tight in the end. They were up for that 200 mark, our bowlers pulled it back well. Ricky's idea (McClenghan's promotion), he was in the dug-out and the left-hander was sent out with legspinners bowling, Mitch being a power-hitter we wanted to use that. We started well with the ball, our fielding needs to improve a little bit. We have seen Buttler play those kind of innings again and again for England. it was my duty, responsibility to bat till the end.
Gautam Gambhir: "We needed to take wickets all the time, we didn't start well with the ball. We missed our lengths quite often. Credit to Mumbai, they accelerated at the right time. If someone bats through, it was difficult. We thought that spinners would be more effective than the pacers. They just played well, I can't point out one or two things."

superb batting. Knew what was coming and executed to perfection. Russell still decides not to use the cutters, full and wide and steered very fine, the third man boundary is found
Pollard is the new man

Russell to Buttler, OUT
high in the air and taken. Is it too late? Full on off, Buttler goes deep in the crease to try and get under it, does so but does not time it at all. Skied and taken by Suryakumar at mid-off. Pressure catch. Bat handle may have turned in his hands.

Hastings to Buttler, no run
dropped. Won't be surprised if Hastings has done some damage to his finger. Slower delivery on middle, Buttler backs away, picks the variation and blugdeons it back to Hastings who can't hold on. Very hard chance but KKR needed that desperately

that is a quick bouncer, good change up. Well-directed. Buttler misses his pull again.
Saqib Mumta: "KKRs will have to pay the price for leaking some extras in the middle of the inning after poor last three four overs."
