A five-wicket haul from Mohsin Khan went in vain in a game with multiple momentum shifts

And, we are back again. Rinku will bat, of course he will. He has been everywhere, and he can land the final knockout blow now. Powell will accompany him to the crease. Prince to take the ball. KKR, to reiterate, only need 2
Wow. What a turnaround for KKR. They would have felt downcast after LSG dragged this game to a Super Over. But they had Narine. They have had him for an eternity. And they have had him producing the goods when most needed for an eternity too. Another showcase of the champion bowler he is, and KKR now have only two runs to get to make it two wins out of two.
AK Markram c ? b Narine
N Pooran b Narine
Pooran will be on strike. Narine might look to spin the ball away. Long off, long on, deep extra cover, deep mid wicket and deep backward square leg on the fence
11:34pm Right. The LSG batters make their way out. Markram and Pooran to take guard for LSG. Narine to bowl, which is not at all a surprise. Narine has famously bowled a Super Over to Pooran, albeit in the CPL. What do we have in store tonight?
11:29pm What a game. What drama. And it is still not done yet. We are going into over-time. KKR crestfallen. LSG over the moon having pulled a tie out of the fire. It should probably not have gotten this deep, given the batting LSG had. But they just could not get out of second gear throughout. Credit to KKR for it. They stuck to their guns, they held their lengths, they tried their best but in the end, they just could not find the nerve to close out the game.
They will have a chance to set things right, though. LSG will too. But until this Super Over is done, we will not know who will end the night happier, and who will end this evening having experienced the elation of winning a match that they, at some point, would have felt had slipped.
7 off 1
7 off 2. Super Over territory, perhaps?
Prince on strike now. 8 off 3
Himmat Singh c Singh b Kartik Tyagi 19 (28m 10b 2x4 1x6) SR: 190
12 off 5. Tyagi can no longer bowl. Another twist to this slow-burner of a tale. A KKR conference ongoing, and the decision is that Roy will bowl. They could have gone to Green. They opt not to. Big, big call. Free hit coming up
But hang on. Scratch all of that because Tyagi has the ball again. Not sure how this is possible but it is happening
Free hit coming up. 15 off 5
The LSG quick picked up 5 for 23 against KKR earning praise from Carlos Brathwaite as well
The LSG captain has asked his team-mates to take "accountability" after they slipped to the bottom with five losses in a row
On the teamsheet, Aiden Markram was listed as opener alongside Mitchell Marsh, with Ayush Badoni marked at No. 5 for LSG
Rohan Pandit had to establish two things: did Raghuvanshi change direction significantly and did he do it without probable cause?
