Commentary

So KKR leapfrogs to the 2nd position in the points table with a dominating victory. It was a pleasure bringing the live commentary and match updates for you. Till the next time, tata from me, Arya Sekhar Chakraborty and my fellow commentator Akshay Bhide. Good night and stay tuned for tomorrow's encounter between the Kings XI Punjab and Mumbai Indians.

Shivam Mavi, Player of the Match: When I started bowling, it was seaming. So I thought I'll stick to normal lines and lengths. Before the game we thought it would be flatter. So I just stuck to a length. Have played against these big stars before, but I knew it wasn't coming onto the bat.

Shivam Mavi is the Man of the Match. Dinesh Karthik is his translator in the conversation with Pommie Mbangwa

Karthik, KKR captain: Wouldn't call it a perfect game. Lot of areas we need to improve. The way Gill batted, Mavi bowled, Russell batted. Also the youngsters going after the high catches. Archer bowled really well. Wasn't that easy a wicket to bat on. Couple of guys made it look better than it was. These boys, the journey they've been through when they're not playing, is a hard one. Putting runs on the board is what we thought was the best way to go forward on this ground.

Kamlesh Nagarkoti: The situation was a bit in our favour when I came to bowl. Just wanted to keep my plans simple and execute them. I want to thank my family, the KKR support staff and everyone else who have stood by me. Many people like my family, Dravid Sir, Abhishek (Nayar) bhaiyya. There have been so many people to thank. It’s a nice experience to learn from Pat Cummins who is a really good bowler. I try to execute what I learn from him.

Steve Smith | Losing captain: Didn't quite go to plan. That happens in T20 cricket sometimes, we have a few areas to improve on, and keep moving forward. You could go one way or another, KKR like to chase. We planned to put their death bowling under pressure but obviously couldn't do that as we lost wickets upfront. Few of us still thought we are playing in Sharjah. It did (feel a lot different), the far side is a very big side and we didn't see too many balls going there and the other side is shorter. We probably didn't adapt to the dimensions and the wicket, also dropped a few catches which cost us. It is about forming whatever XI is best for the conditions we are facing, we will wait and see. Disappointing tonight but we need to keep moving forward. It wasn't a great battle (with Cummins), he won easily and spoke to him now and he said you smack those in the nets, sometimes you just get a good one.
