KKR vs RCB, 6th Match at Navi Mumbai, IPL, Mar 30 2022 - Match Result

Thanks for joining us. It was a pleasure to have your company. Until next time, this is me Shashank Kishore signing off on behalf of Matt Roller and Venkat Raghav. Be well, stay safe.

11.20pm RCB made it tougher than they would've liked. For a moment, their faithful would've gone "here we go, again", but they found a saviours in Sherfane Rutherford, Shahbaz Ahmed, Dinesh Karthik and Harshal Patel in a small chase that was made that much more tougher. RCB specifically held back DK for a scenario like this, and it worked out in the end.

Wanindu Hasaranga is the Player of the Match for his four-for.

Abhilash: "MoM is really difficult- Harshal's twin wicket (including dre russ) maiden overs, Hasaranga's Quadra wickets, shabaz and rutherford contributions at crucial moments"

Bihag: "The number of runs Russell conceded in 2.2 overs is same as what Southee and Umesh conceded in 8 overs. "

Marten: "Shreyas's attitude and captaincy skills are refreshing. Kept a smile on despite everything. Good show overall."

Faf du Plessis: Very happy. Good win, obviously chasing small scores, you want to be positive and not leave it late, but it was good bowling from their seamers. Tonight there was seam and bounce, first night it swung a bit more. Two-three days ago, it was 200 v 200. Tonight it was 120 v 120, pretty good. In an ideal world, we would've liked to have won more convincingly but a win is a win. DK's experience helped in the end, cool-calm, runs weren't never really too far away. He's probably as cool as MS Dhoni can get in the last five overs.

Shreyas Iyer: I thought this game was exciting. Before coming in to the bowl, I told the boys this game could define our character. The way we fought reflects our mentality. Proud to have taken it till the last over. At the end, I decided to go with Venky because he has some experience bowling at the international level. Important to give confidence to the players as early as possible. Wicket was two-paced, bounce was odd. Wanindu bowled really well. We decided we'll play him as an off spinner, unfortunately didn't go to plan.

Final over. Russell seems to have some discomfort in his right shoulder but has the ball in his hand. He'll bowl the final over.

Chikke: "Anyone expecting super over finish"

Vinod says: "This is the difference between captaincy of Shreyas and Rahul. Inspiring captaincy irrespective of result. Not bowling out Chameera last night was shocking decision. "

Right, 17 off 12. KKR get DK here and the game may well be within their grasp. Russell to bowl one of them. Who bowls the other? Venky Iyer

Wanindu walks out to much pressure

Saksham: "While Shreyas did well to keep Narine for DK, there is no scoreboard pressure at all, and he can just play him out."

Karthik comes out trying to finish the game off against his former team. Must have faced Narine so many times in the nets.
