Varun Chakaravarthy (POTM): "Yeah, because I had never taken Rohit bhai's (Sharma) wicket. So celebration was coming. Obviously, there was help from the wicket, and I was able to use it to my advantage. The plan was to make him hit across the line. I had meticulously planned, and it came off.
We (Narine and Varun) do talk. Tactically, we (Narine and Varun) are different, but technically, we are similar. He (Narine) bowls in front of the hand. I bowl from the back of my hand. I see what we do well and where we are improving.
The ground is very small here at Eden Gardens. The wickets were too flat initially. My bowling has been the same from the first match. I have done the same thing. Mishits were going for six. I have been bowling the same, results are coming now."

PLAYER OF THE MATCH: Varun Chakaravarthy
Shreyas Iyer (Kolkata Knight Riders Captain): "I manifested before the game we will qualify. Nerves were there. We've been playing fantastic cricket throughout. Boys are taking a lot of responsibility. There have been many game changers and today is a true example. Kudos to the team.
We definitely lost the toss but whichever team plays the best has a great time to win. We were confident we can win from any situation. To bounce back after the powerplay in the 1st innings, it was a tremendous effort from each and every player and that's what I love to see.
I wasn't thinking about records in the past. Its history. Today was a new day for us. The weather wasn't that great but in the end we finished well.
Its not about who is the best. On the particular day which bowler is bowling at a great pace and great form. I backed my instincts. Varun was phenomenal with his line and lengths. Yesterday facing him in nets it was difficult to play his leg spin. My guts went with Varun and he did the job."
