KKR vs Daredevils, 42nd match at Kolkata, IPL, May 07 2015 - Match Result

That's all we have for you today. Thank you for your company and your comments. Kept me on my toes. But now, let me go get my drink and slip away into the darkness

Piyush Chawla is the Man of the Match "The season is going pretty well, the ball is coming out very well. No matter how many spinners are in the side, as a leggie I go for wickets. And the kind of powerful batting line-up Delhi had, that was the only option to contain them. My role depends on the situation, Sometimes I bowl four on the trot, sometimes I'm held back. it depends on the captain"

"I think we were thinking 160 and getting 170 was a bonus. That over of Zaheer and the way Johan batted was brilliant. 155 would have been par with Sunil and Hoggy with us," Gautam Gambhir says, "We knew Delhi would come hard, it was a must-win game for them. But we knew we had options and we were always controlling the game with our spinners. Always a blessing in disguise to have so many options, for me four spinners is always better. Johan, Piyush, Hoggy and Sunil are great. People keep talking that Kolkata turns and spins, but we've been getting 170 runs. And they just lost by 13 runs. It's a good batting track, when you have quality in the line-up it doesn't matter. Don't believe in momentum, it's a new game the day after tomorrow and we'll start even again. We have to go out and play to our potential and we have everything to lose against Kings XI, who have nothing to lose"

"Probably leaked 15-20 too many, I thought we gave it a good go with the bat," says JP Duminy. We had eight batters, but we didn't utilise Morkel. We're pretty much out of it, but we have a lot of pride to play for. Let opportunities go. Lot of work to do with our fielding. We brought it back nicely in the middle, contained them. But in the last five overs they got 60-odd which was too much"

11.30 pm The purple balloons are out and Danny M says "there go the grapes." And just to reiterate, the pitch didn't really turn the spinners into unplayable demons. It was helping them of course, and it was offering a lot of bounce for the quicks as well. Gambhir sized that up well and battered the two Indian openers with pace, and then flummoxed the middle and lower order with Piyush Chawla, who ripped through four batsmen. Turned the game KKR's favour after his batsmen had set him up with a very strong total. Daredevils take the seventh loss in 11 games are sinking in the IPL yet again. Knight Riders are charging towards a playoffs spot

Twenty-nine from six needed. And finally in walks Albie Morkel

Russell wants the towel again. Sweat pouring down his body

Swami: "Poor Albie can only watch in agony as ball after ball goes by!"

Nalin: "@chandujonty, if that is the argument, let's bring back Kapil Dev"

Daredevils need 35 off 12.. and Andre Russell will bowl six of them

chandujonty: "@Krithikou.Last match yuvraj scored 50 runs,don't u forget that,but the match is lost.never say yuvraj not to play cricket,because of him India lift world cup for 2nd time.6 sixes in an over,can anybody forget this." ---- The sad part of that defence is that the bulk of that happened at least four years ago

Umesh with the ball
