Current Partnership: 2 runs, 0.2 overs, RR: 6 (YK Pathan, RN ten Doeschate )
Last Wicket: G Gambhir 59(48)
Umesh Yadav is the Man of the Match
Gambhir: Lot of credit goes to the bowler, especially Umesh as he bowled a brilliant last over. It is important in this format to keep the batsman guessing. KKR have a strong bowling attack and it's a luxury to have Umesh, Morne and Narine in the same team. We wanted Delhi to go and make the score, we were confident that let Delhi go and make whatever they want, we would chase it down. It's very easy to get compacent but I assure you that till I am there, I will not let them become compacent.
Duminy: We definitely were outplayed. It was a dreadful start as we lost too many wickets early on. Somehow we managed to reach 146 and I thought that it could be defended. We didn't bowl well enough too and they deserved the win. They batted well and we were well below par today. We have got a few things to work on and we have a little break before we play next. Hopefully, we can rectify those mistakes before the next time we play
