What an effort from KKR here to walk away with a win! Heinrich Klaasen almost took Sunrisers Hyderabad home with a sensational knock coupled with Shahbaz Ahmed's power-hitting. But, Harshit Rana showed nerves of steel to defend 13 runs in the final over. This match had KKR written all over it, but SRH somehow almost pulled off the impossible. In the end, the home side came out on top, much to the joy of a packed Eden Gardens. Andre Russell brought out one of his best performances in a KKR shirt, and so did Sunil Narine, the only KKR bowler not to concede a boundary in this high-scoring match. Shreyas Iyer and Gautam Gambhir are relieved men today while SRH would take away a lot of positives from this match.
