Player of the Match: Chris Gayle
Apr 19, 11:51 PM (IST)
Ravichandran Ashwin, KXIP captain, said, ‘This was a complete performance. We could have concede 10 runs lesser to work on the net run rate, it did not happen but we are still happy. We thought giving them a reasonable score to chase is something we could handle at the back end. Chris batted beautifully and took it away from them. It's more about who we play and what works best. It's about doing well in the Powerplay. For example Mohit versus Dhawan was a clean match-up. It was extremely pleasing to see the crowd today, we have never seen this in Mohali. Chris entertained them. One word won't be enough to describe his knock. His style is hard to replicate, when it comes off, it's hard to match it.’
Apr 19, 11:51 PM (IST)
Kane Williamson, SRH captain said, ‘Hats off to Chris. We know what he can do. This wicket was not a free-flowing wicket. We can learn a few things from the way they bowled. They bowled a touch short, we were much fuller. Shikhar has been hitting the ball beautifully, he's got a role to play. Tonight, our loss was not because of lack of effort. The lengths they bowled was superb, they used the big boundaries well. Now, we have to just look forward to the next game. There has been a clear pattern of play we are looking to execute, we did not do that tonight.’
Apr 19, 11:35 PM (IST)

Apr 19, 11:28 PM (IST)
Shakib strikes it hard on the leg side, only to pick up a single. Mohit Sharma bowls full length on the middle stump and Pandey launches it down the ground for a six. That shot also brought up his 10th IPL half-century. A few more runs keep the scoreboard ticking.
Sharma ends this long over and concludes the penultimate over of the match.
SRH 161/4 after 19 overs.
Apr 19, 11:23 PM (IST)
Shakib Al Hasan is the new batsman in. Sran gives away a run on the first ball before conceding a no-ball (height) and then a wide. A well-executed yorker denies Shakib any runs on a free-hit ball.
