Milestone
Well, what a humdinger of a contest we have witnessed at Eden Gardens. 472 runs were scored in 40 overs. It was a nightmare of an outing for the bowlers but LSG just had enough runs to squeeze in a four-run win over KKR. Rinku Singh nearly pulled off another heist for the Knights but it wasn't to be today.
That’s all we have for you from this game. Ninaad Dixit, Akshay Bhide, AkshayaKrishna Polya, your text commentators, along with scorers Paras Yadav and Manish Bishnoi, and Aman, your statistician, take your leave as we now shift focus to the other big clash in the IPL. Punjab Kings are hosting Chennai Super Kings. Switch tabs to catch all the live action from that game. It’s goodbye from us for now!!!

Nicholas Pooran (POTM): "I have been asked this question a million times. I have practiced a lot. Everything you see me do in a game is because I practice a lot. At the moment, it is just flowing nicely.
I mean, you have to understand what's needed in the game. Guys are bowling full and wide, straight, short. Slower balls. If you know it, you work on it. I have been working on it, and thankfully, contributing to the team.
Aiden and Mitch have been brilliant for us. You can't take anything for granted in IPL. They're batting so good in partnerships. They are dropping their egos and playing the situation. And I am really happy with how we are doing as a batting unit.
I mean, what is my role at number 3. Get a start and then capitalise on my match-ups. I have been doing that consistently. Opportunity came my way this IPL and I want to continue to do the same thing."

Rishabh Pant (Lucknow Super Giants Captain): "When we batted we didn't realise but after the powerplay we knew it will be really close.
[Expecting if it will be such a close game] The idea was very simple after the first break. We asked the bowlers to stick to their plans more often. You tend to try many things when you are hit all over.
[On slowing things down] When the game is running at that phase you need to slow it down. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I am glad it did today.
[On keeping the left-right combination] The kind of spinners they had, it was better for us to have a left-hand-right-hand combination and it worked for us."
