<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>KKR struggle with the bat</strong><br /> The batting order nearly failed once again and all their dependency shifted to bowling yet again. With very little contributions with the bat, the team managed to put 163 runs at the end of their innings. With due credit to the SRH’s economical bowlers, Sandeep Sharma, Vijay Shankar, and Rashid Khan, KKR still could have been a little more consistent with the bat.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Poor performance from SRH young guns</strong><br /> SRH were off to a decent start and were 57 in 6.1 overs when Kane Williamson departed. The opening stand between Williamson and Jonny Bairstow was promising enough to get them through. However, the middle-order youngsters, Manish Pandey and Priyam Garg, departed with almost nil contributions.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>David Warner- SRH face savior</strong><br /> It was the skipper who proved his mettle in the middle overs of the slowed pitch. With a slow strike-rate initially, he created high hopes for the team in the last over, which eventually ended up in a Super Over. Having smashed a couple of boundaries in the last over, he went not out on 47 from 33 balls. However, in the Super Over, he was dismissed off the first ball. </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Fabulous Ferguson</strong><br /> KKR would surely regret their decision for having benched this man for their first eight matches. The Kiwi pacer was flawless on the field today. In his spell, he conceded just 15 runs and alone scalped three massive wickets for KKR. He was magnificent on the field and took two brilliant catches. Having given the ball in the Super Over, he took the two wickets and was the prime reason for KKR’s glory today.</p>
