That's all from this high-scoring affair, folks! Russell and Klassen wreaked havoc with the bat for their respective teams, but it was Harshit Rana who stole the limelight with his excellent last-over bowling, helping KKR win by a razor-thin margin of 4 runs.
We hope you enjoyed our coverage and had a great Super Saturday! It's time to bid adieu. For now, this is Deepak Prakash signing off on behalf of co-commentators Akshay Bhide, AkshayaKrishna Polya, Hitesh Peddurwar, who along with scorer/analyst Zeeshan Naiyer brought all the actions of this last ball thriller. CHEERS!

Andre Russell (Player of the Match): "[Does he keep track of his strike rate?] Not really. Sometimes stuff pops up on my Instagram and I realize how well I've been striking the ball, which is just a cool reminder to know that you're doing well. So I'm happy with the way I'm batting and grateful for the win tonight.
I just try to react to whatever comes my way. I know, based on the last year or two, bowlers have been exceptionally good at bowling to me, and they plan very carefully when they bowl to me. So I've been digging runs out in the back end, and I'm still figuring out how to score because they're going to have their plans. I realize everyone is coming to me with a plan, so I have to be ready.
Yeah, when it starts being on the bench, walking around with towels, and then I get the opportunity and I make use of it, and then since I've been a permanent fixture in the 11th, so I'm just happy to keep contributing and this franchise means a lot to me. They have shown faith and confidence in me over the years. So what I did tonight is just to say keep supporting and I'm happy to contribute every time I put this jersey on.

[Harshit Rana] I think his body language was on point in that last over. He wanted the ball, and that is the body language that we all need as professionals. If he had shied away from it, maybe it would have gone the other way.
He told me that he wanted the last over, so he claimed it, and he did deliver for us, with the first ball going for six. I still had a little doubt there, but he came back strong and got the job done."

Shreyas Iyer (Kolkata Knight Riders Skipper): " Yeah, right from the 17th over I had butterflies in my stomach, to be honest in the final over I felt that anything could happen, as only 13 runs were needed and we probably didn't have the most experienced bowler bowling at that moment, but I had belief on him and just told him to back yourself.
(On Harshit's final Over) To be honest he was a bit nervous when I looked into his eyes while he was coming to bowl the final over, I just told him this is your moment buddy, even if we lose it's fine and just back yourself and execute whatever I say and what messages we got from inside there was a bit cluster in the between but I tried to calm him down.
(On Sunil Narine and Andre Russell) Yeah Obviously they have got such a big experience under their back, Andre Russell the way he started with the bat, I am elated to see him the way he batted and he performed well with the ball too. Running around on the field, and Sunil Narine too, it's fantastic to have them in the team.
It's good to start with a win, it gives a lot of confidence and learning too, you carry a lot of stuff from the ground, and there are many areas we need to improve. Fielding is the one thing we need to work on. It was too loud out in the middle, I wanted to move someone on the deep mid-wicket region a bit but he wasn't able to hear it."
