11.20pm: Pollard hugs Rohit. The captain raises his bat and acknowledges the cheers. Phew, what an innings from Pollard. Mumbai jump to third with this victory. Rohit steered the chase with his fourth fifty-plus score in four chases. Pollard then applied the finishing touches. And KKR weren't helped by a dew-slicked ball.
Gambhir, KKR captain: We are not going to give excuses. We did bowl well. We are also 15 runs short. I thought we needed an innings like Pollard did. At one stage, I thought we would get 190. They deserved to win. I am not going to take about the dew. The dew, toss is not in my hand.
Rohit Sharma, Mumbai captain and Man of the Match: It was a good game and we wanted this win badly We stuck to our plans though we dropped a lot of catches. We batted brilliantly. Pollard's form was crucial and he is peaking at the right time. This is going to be our last game here. The support has been superb here. I want to thank the crowd. Mumbai always enjoy perfect cricket. They have been wanting to see Pollard fire. I don't know what's our home venue. We will have to understand the conditions and adapt as soon as possible.
Pollard says it was just about picking the bowlers. He says he would have played out Narine had the spinner bowled the 16th over. Sathish was taken for three sixes in that over.
Vikas Goyal: "Pollard came in when MI needed 69 to win from 42 balls. He has made 51 of those in just 17 balls. What-a-playa!!"
Mominul: "This game has been almost a carbon-copy of the first leg of this fixture. KKR batting first, have a great start but are unable to capitalise and thus post an average score. MI comfortably chase the score thanks to a not out innings from Sharma and cameos from other batsmen."
Dilip Sah: ""Pollard has blasted the fastest fifty this season alongside Morris last night, off just 17 balls...& both with a six""
Mayank Aggarwal: "Pollard has also completed 6000 T20 runs with this innings"
Thanks for tuning in. That is all we have for tonight. Goodbye and good night
