Pitch Report

From the High Court End, the square boundaries are 66m to the off-side for the right-hander and only 60m to the on-side. Straight down the ground, it is 74m. There is a good covering of grass on this surface, but the area from the fuller side of good length to the entire stretch of what we call the full length, is dry. Water has been put to try and keep those bare patches together, but it does seem like the cracks are going to open up just a wee bit. You get that here at the Eden Gardens. It might just be on the slower side initially, but otherwise, especially in the second half under lights, it should be good to bat on.

Commentary

That will be all from this game but the PBKS-LSG game is underway as we speak. Do switch tabs to follow the action from that contest here on Sportskeeda. For the moment, this is the duo of Bidipto and Sooryanarayanan taking your leave. Thank you so much for tuning in as we hope you enjoyed our coverage - see you again soon. Buh-bye for now!

A confident, firing Andre Russell is a happy Andre Russell. And a happy Dre Russ means a happy KKR! They're now on 11 points and are sixth on the table with their playoff hopes still very much realistic. They've won two on the bounce and will need to keep the juggernaut rolling along to barge into that top four. They will be up against bottom-placed Chennai Super Kings next on Wednesday at this very venue and they'd certainly do well to not take them lightly with CSK having nothing to lose.

As for the Royals, they've now lost nine games this season. Incidentally, they too face CSK next as they head to Chennai but after a gap of eight days. A long break - perhaps a good time to take their minds off cricket and do something else to refresh themselves before looking to end the season on a high.

Andre Russell is the Player of the Match for his breathtaking unbeaten 57 off 25 balls. Here's what he has to say: We all knew the importance of this game. When it's four games to go and it's like four finals, you have to leave everything on the park and that's what I did. It was a total team effort from the guys. Happy with the win. When I have a bit of time to go, I wasn't worried about the dot balls early on. I know I can make up. It was a quite difficult wicket to go and start hitting. So I gave myself a few (deliveries) and it paid off in the end. Happy to finish off the innings and then Rinku to top it off at the end. My innings was crucial but once I get those opportunities more often I can put on a show. The scoreboard is the best indication (on when to go for your shots). Playing these shots and in these sort of situations, you know which bowlers are to come, who you can target and take down. When you see five overs, you don't think five overs, you think 30 balls. If I face 15 out of that with my power, you know I can get 40 runs off those 15 balls (grins).

Ajinkya Rahane (Kolkata Knight Riders captain): It was really close but nevertheless really happy with the win. In T20s if you win by one or two runs it gives you satisfaction. I thought the partnerships were really crucial between Gurbaz and myself and then Angkrish and Russell, that was really important. We wanted to go hard in the powerplay. After that we thought the wicket was a little slow and dry. We thought if we could bat well from overs 7 to 12, the batters could express himself. Even Russell was 2 off 9 balls and then he could score the big runs. It wasn't easy. That's what Angkrish and I spoke about - to take our time and it paid off. Fielding is the factor you can control as a unit. If you can save 10 or 12 runs in the field that's a bonus. That's what we decided - to give our best in the field. The bowlers are doing their job. In the end that was the difference. (On his hand) I'm happy that we won the match so it's good (grins).

Jofra Archer receives a sapling for bowling the most dots! Kwena Maphaka will collect the award on his behalf.

Parag is back to receive the Super Sixes Award! He also collects the award for scoring the most fours!

Riyan Parag wins the Fantasy King of the Match Award for scoring the most fantasy points!

Andre Russell wins the Super Striker of the Match Award for a strike-rate of 228!

Time for the presentation...

We will bring to you the quotes from the winning captain and the Player of the Match shortly. In the meantime, you can switch tabs to follow our coverage of the PBKS-LSG match in Dharamsala. A former CSK bowler is in action today and he has struck in the opening over for LSG!
