20:05 IST: Chahar to Gill, OUT!
20:02 IST: Krunal to Karthik, FOUR! First runs for the former KKR captain -- well, it will take time to familiarise with writing this for Dinesh Karthik. Short from Krunal and Karthik sends it towards the deep midwicket boundary.
20:00 IST: Dinesh Karthik is the new man in for the Knight Riders.
19:56 IST: Coulter-Nile to Rana, OUT! Short ball does the trick this time! Rana couldn't make his mind up his time, half-thinking about either pulling or ducking the ball. Instead, he nicks it and Quinton de Kock takes a good catch.
19:55 IST: Coulter-Nile to Gill, FOUR! Into the slot and Gill dispatches it over mid-on! Shubman keeps shape, makes room for himself this time and sends it away to the boundary.
19:52 IST: SUPERMAN SKY!

19:50 IST: Bumrah to Rana, FOUR! It had been an otherwise good over for Bumrah. This one, however, was straight into the pads and Nitish Rana flicked it towards the midwicket boundary.
19:45 IST: Boult to Tripathi, OUT! WHAT A CATCH! Suryakumar Yadav has taken a stunner at backward point! A brave cut from Tripathi but 'SKY' flies to his left and takes an absolute beauty of a catch to send the batsman to pavilion.
19:43 IST: Boult to Tripathi, FOUR! First poor delivery from Boult. A little too short and Tripathi got into position and pulls it towards the cow corner.
19:37 IST: Coulter-Nile to Gill, FOUR! Pushed it towards the long-on, should've ideally been a single but Jasprit Bumrah misfields and the ball races towards the boundary line. First four for KKR!
19:34 IST: Tight over from up front! No room for Gill and Tripathi to work with at all.
19:29 IST: Shubman Gill and Rahul Tripathi to begin the proceedings for KKR. Trent Boult to bowl the first over for MI.
19:25 IST: Five minutes to go! Will it be the night 'Muscle-Russell' fires for KKR?

Brief Preview: KKR had faced their bogey team in the IPL 2020 opener in Abu Dhabi when Rohit Sharma's 54-ball 80 had guided the defending champions to a 49-run win. KKR since then, bounced back to win four out of their next five games to take a place in the top half of the points table before being crumbled by a heavy 82-run defeat against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Heading into the big game, the one aspect that will prevail is the uncertainty over Sunil Narine's return. [FULL PREVIEW]
