"Especially after the last game, we wanted to finish this game," says Gambhir, who is also the man of the match. "We wanted someone to bat through and luckily it was me today. Runs on the board always benefit, but this was a good wicket - it was coming on nicely. But Robin and I got the start. We have a lot of talent in the team and we need to finish more games. The way i started the tournament, i couldnt get a run. I was smiling from outside but deep down I was anxious. "
This is how the previous match should have gone for KKR, but they have managed to correct the mistake this time. A very important win for KKR team, helps them move one rung up on the ladder out from the dungeon, still a long way to go though. Gambhir and Uthappa put up a 100-run partnership again, closing out the game in the process.. Delhi, unfortunately, didn't have the bowling attack to trouble anyone. It turned out to be a jaunt.
Ali: "Good day for the Bengalis today. Athletico Kolkata has been unveiled today and now Cricketico Kolkata is looking in good form !! " --- Isn't Knight Riders a bad enough name that you invent another?
Arpit: "So, Who gets the credit? Gambhir or his T-shirt ?"
Gunjandeep: "Delhi's lack of good spin attack is only matched by Kolkata's indifferent form of middle order. However, Another brilliant opening stand ensures that KKR are still good, DD around 20 Runs Short. What's Duminy doing Sooooo Low down the order anyways???"
END OF OVER:18 | 5 Runs 1 Wkt | KKR: 156/2 (5 runs required from 12 balls, RR: 8.66, RRR: 2.50)

Senthil: "DK is a different kind of player. He does exceptionally well in pressure situations and does the hard job with batting as well as keeping but his problems are with easy ones"
Kallis is in now
Ahsen: "I am very interested in how Kolkata is goin to mess it up now :P " ---why does everyone love a bit of schadenfreude?

Sam: "The Indian opening pair candidates are doing so well, GG, Rohit, a couple of good innings by Shikhar as well and yet it always comes down to Virat Kohli to save India in every match."
