Regarded as the two of the most prolific all-rounders, the narrative in the build-up to the match was dominated by the Hardik-Russell battle. But for the first half of the match, it came a cropper as the Indian cricketer walked after his bat clipped the top of the off-stump.

Before getting out, Hardik did manage to hit some lusty hits for 18 runs off 13 balls (two fours and a one six).
Put into bat by KKR captain Dinesh Karthik, the defending champions rode on skipper Rohit
Sharma's 80 to post a good total of 195/5.
