Sammy offers some insights on Gayle: "Knowing him, he'll look to play Narine out and take the other bowlers on." Will this work tonight? Could if they're chasing 180, but we're talking of 240 plus.
ELDHOSE : "141 is the lowest strike rate, everyone else above 150. Only two below 200. Unbelievable"
5.45pm So it has taken KKR eleven years to break their previous best of 222 that they achieved in the inaugural IPL game. Back then it was McCullum's 158 that set it up for them. Here, not one got a century, but they still managed the fourth-highest IPL score despite having just batsmen cross 50. Kings XI have some chasing to do if they are to overcome a slump they've gotten themselves into. They'll need a big contribution from Gayle, Rahul and Finch.
This is the highest against KXIP since their first ever IPL match v CSK in 2008.
Andrew Tye, the purple cap holder says: "It's a tough wicket to bowl. You have to just hope on this wicket (laughs). I think we can chase this down."

Seervi stats digs this out: Andrew Tye is the third bowler to take four-wicket hauls in consecutive matches in IPL after Shadab Jakati (2009) and Munaf Patel (2012).
Since 2017, Andrew Tye has taken four or more wickets seven times in 39 T20 matches. No other bowler has done this more than 4 times in this period.
Dhaval Shah : "This is going to be a riveting chase. Rahul Gayle Agarwal Finch Nair. They surely are staring down at 240+ with Rana and Gill to follow."
