KKR vs Kings XI, 6th Match at Kolkata, IPL, Mar 27 2019 - Match Result

That's all we have for you, thanks for joining us, goodnight.

Andre Russell is the Man of the Match. "Keep getting cars and these awards. I'll have to make a bigger garage. End of the day, well done to the guys. Gayle's like a brother to me. A legent and to get him out early in the first six is big. The plan was to restrict him as best as possible. KL Rahul too. We have our plans and we executed them. Today, I hit some big ones but he's still the bigger hitter. [No ball when he was bowled] Thanks to that guy who was outside the ring. It's the new guy, forgot his name. Thank you. When I get bowled, I thoguht I'd missed out but I saw the guys in the dug out signalling no-ball and I was like, please God, let it be a no-ball. You have to make sure you have a clear head. When I run out to bat, that little run I do is to get adrenaline flowing, to get loose, it's to get into the mood and when I get the ball in my slot, I go at it. It's just certain logics that I do and it's been working"

"Obviolusy its a good start. It's just a start though. Long tournament this,"Dinesh Karthik says. "There were a few moments. Nitish played beautifully. Narine's start. Robin's batting. And Russell's finish. Then the bowling as well, they had some good strokemakers and we had to tie them down. Narine got injured, so we made a last minute change and it was gracious of Nitish to open. There are a lot of good players for us. Important to keep them in a good space. Long tournament, we can't get ahead of ourselves. Got a few interesting games, playing away. We're looking forward to it

"[No ball cost the game?] We weren't really focussed on the small things and they do cost you big in this format. Yes, we definitely have to look at it next game. I'll take the blame," R Ashwin says. "I should've had a look at it. At that stage, with the slog on, you hope the fielders are switched on but obviously he was a debutant [only two debutants today for Kings XI - Varun and Viljoen]. Positives, Varun's 15th over, and we managed things well with small boundaries. Mayank batted well. I thought 200 was par and that's where the small mistakes cost us. We played four last year in Mohali and won all of them. It suits our batters there. It's importnat to win games on the bounce and that's why that batting performance was important"

11.35 pm Pretty clinical from KKR. And Andre Russell was at the centre of it all. Made 48 off 17 with the bat - after he was bowled off a no-ball - and then took out Chris Gayle early and that was pretty much the game. So in the end it was a bit of a damp squib, but a great advert for Luck Index!

pranav: "Me and buddy always indulge in friendly banters during IPL. We live in Toronto and support India in any tournament. But when it comes to IPL, we are on opposite sides. I am from Delhi and he is from Punjab. Yesterday I got to hear so much from him on our loss, but today he will be on the receiving end. Ironically, both these teams have performed poorly in the past but hoping this would change this IPL."

Pranav Suri: "@Chandru: Extra-marks for good handwriting. "

Nazim Ali: "The speeds bowled by Prasidh Krishna are impressive... He his clocking consistently near 145s. " And the control too. He's been very good

Chandru: "How come Delhi Capitals got 21 FairPlay points in 2 matches ?? Is 10 not the highest a team can get?? "

Kings XI need 57 off 12 now

Sud: "Gayle, Rahul, Sarfaraz, Agarwal, Mandeep.. all in Red makes me think why Virat and ABD missing in the playing XI.. jus to realize it's KXIP...! "
