That's it from another intriguing and exciting T20 game in the Indian Premier League. Ninaad Dixit here signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Ayan Chatterjee, Hitesh Peddurwar and scorer Paras Yadav. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.
Andre Russell (Player of the Match): "Yes, definitely. We thought about it. The ball was gripping a bit. They missed their lengths. Just hung in there to get 30 off the last 2 overs and happy that we got over the line. Not too sure. I flicked one for the maximum. Those two sixes gave us the momentum and there was chaos in the end with me being run out.
Rinku our finisher was there and I have confidence in him. I wanted him to be on strike and happy that he took over the line. Oh, man, I get goosebumps that this man is doing. I have back up at the back end. He has so much to give, honest and funniest guy in the team. I am very close to him and we are very good friends. Definitely feeling good."

Nitish Rana (Kolkata Knight Riders Captain): "When I was batting my plan was to hold one end and keep on batting. Venkatesh had some problem with his ankle so we were discussing if one of us can get 3 big overs here then we can take the game away. We got that one big over. We were waiting since 10 matches for that one big Russell innings. I knew he was one big knock away. I am telling him the same since few matches.
As a skipper I just tell him that you are a big player, you have achieved so much and are just an innings away.
Now I can say we have home advantage. The way the spinners bowled was good but I was angry when some bad balls were bowled in the final 2 overs. We should have contained them for around 160-165 but we gave some extra 15 runs.
I told Rinku that what you have done is unachievable from many great players and if you have done that then you can do anything. The crowd was cheering his name and I was getting goosebumps. This is the love he has earned which Russell earned in the past. The crowd was cheering for both of them."
