RCB have outplayed KKR, in all the departments of the game. That's it from us today, but do join us tomorrow for the live coverage of CSK's clash against SRH at Dubai. Adios! 

AB de Villiers: I’m very happy with the performance, that’s all I can say. Very happy that I contributed, and I surprised myself out there, I must say. I knew the wicket was very tough to bat on, but I thought 130-140 wouldn’t be enough. Was very surprised with the total we ended up with. The boundaries are very small and you need to use every bit of energy available to try and keep the momentum going. I really just tried to keep the energy going with the boys. You have a very good view as a wicketkeeper. I’m really enjoying it. I do bounce off ideas to the bowlers from time-to-time as well. It’s different skills completely. I worked really hard leading up to this to ensure I’m up to the standards.

AB de Villiers is the Player of the Match for his unbeaten 73

RCB captain, Virat Kohli: Coming here, it was important to get the right start. It’s great to see individuals step up, Just the way Chris Morris bowled after coming in, Washi, Chahal too. This is one of our most comprehensive wins. Barring that one super human (AB de Villiers), everyone really struggled. The bowling coach has worked hard with us, there is clarity of plan. The intensity this time around is really good. If your bowling unit is strong, then you have a chance of winning. De Villiers hit the ball so beautifully, its only he who can strike late that. He’s dangerous and it was a special knock. We were thinking 160-165, but we got 190. We’ll have a run-down session of this match tomorrow. We just don’t want be complacent, want to be hungry and have that zing to win watches.  

Largest defeats for KKR in IPL - by runs:

102 - MI, Kolkata, 2018
92 - MI, Port Elizabeth, 2009
82 - RCB, Sharjah, 2020*

Dinesh Karthik, KKR captain: (On ABD) He’s a world-class player, plays some great shots. The only thing that probably works against him is a yorker, anything else, he hits it out of the park. I think we need to sit down and make sure there are a few things we could do better. We have a break, so we need to start off fresh after that. If you get it easy, it’s not going to be IPL for you. (On batting first) We need to see as the tournament folds out how that goes out. Every captain has a day when things go wrong, but I don’t want to read too much into it.

After 20 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 112/9 ( Varun Chakravarthy 7 , Prasidh Krishna 2)

After 19 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 108/9 ( Varun Chakravarthy 5 , Prasidh Krishna 0)

Morris into the penultimate over of the innings. Gotta feel for KKR’s lower order, they have to face the pacers now. Morris removes Nagarkoti on the last ball. RCB have not put a foot wrong so far! Four runs off the over.

OUT! Inside edge, Nagarkoti looks to play across the line and the ball dislodges his stumps. Morris gets the breakthrough.  K Nagarkoti b Chris Morris 4(7)

After 18 overs,Kolkata Knight Riders 104/8 ( Kamlesh Nagarkoti 2 , Varun Chakravarthy 3)

Saini into the 18^th over of the innings. The match is in RCB’s pocket already. Virat Kohli and his men are giving their all in the fielding department. Not giving any freebies whatsoever. A referral for a catch off the final ball, Virat Kohli is the man involved, who dived to his front. But it gets turned down by the umpire. Five runs off the over.
