Venky: "Just two boundaries in the last 13 overs even with the likes of rahul, Gayle, pooran and maxi. Great job"

chaitanya: "Young uncapped Indians have shown their worth this season. Every season one individual stands out but this season has many like Natarajan, Varun C, Ravi Bishnoi and the list goes on."

Gokul Pradeep V: "Once again, Pooran the lone warrior for KXIP"

chaitanya: "Wow, SRH does what it does best. Restricting opponents to sub-par score."


Meanwhile, as the IPL winds up later next month, the ISL will start up. India's top footballing league kicks off on Nov 20 and it's going to be a season unlike any other, with Mohun Bagan and East Bengal also a part of Indian football's top division now.

7:51pm They had 56 off the first 7 overs, and only 70 after that for the loss of six wickets. Only two boundaries in that phase too. This is quite a strangle from SRH. It began, like most strangles in this format, with quick wickets - those of Gayle and Rahul off two deliveries. From there, the rebuilding never took off, and the pitch seems to have quite a bit of grip, which all of SRH's bowlers were well placed to exploit. Warner said that dew is now a reality in this tournament, and that will do nicely in what is a very modest chase. We'll be back soon for it.

Natarajan to Pooran, 2 runs, low full toss outside off, driven to deep extra cover's left
19.5
2
Natarajan to Pooran, 2 runs, low full toss outside off, swept along the floor to deep midwicket's left and the throw isn't anywhere near accurate enough
19.4
0
Natarajan to Pooran, no run, beaten again by the wide yorker outside off. Once againhe goes for the chop, this time he can't get bat on it
19.3
0
Natarajan to Pooran, no run, yorker just outside off, tries to chop it past short third man but can't beat him
19.2
0
Natarajan to Pooran, no run, yorker wide outside off, looks for the lap sweep and is beaten. Lovely bowling this, bowling so wide that he can't exploit the square region on the leg side. And with point back on the line, boundary options are difficult
19.1
4
Natarajan to Pooran, FOUR, slides though Warner and Rashid backing up behind him can't quite react at the extra cover boundary. Low full toss outside off, driven betweem long-off and deep extra. Looks like it bobbles past Warner's right hand and he misses out as a result
19.1
1w
Natarajan to Pooran, 1 wide, forces him to leave that. A wide yorker outside off, he was shaping for the ramp and withdrew late, probably thought that would have been called wide....oh and it was. Looked okay to me given how much Pooran shuffled

0
Ahmed to Pooran, no run, vicious yorker has him scrambling to get his foot out of the way. Manages to squeeze it off the inside edge to short fine
18.4
2
Ahmed to Pooran, 2 runs, run out chance missed because Khaleel is not at the stumps. Inexplicable, really, there was plenty of time. Warner, the long-on fielder, is furious. It's a length ball nudged towards long-on and the throw is on the bounce and adjacent to the stumps, but the bowler is backing up about a yard and a half behind
18.3

Ahmed to Pooran, FOUR, at long last, a boundary. After more than 11 overs. A slower short ball at middle stump, sits up nicely for him and he gets half on the front foot and pulls to the square leg boundary
18.2
W
Ahmed to Ashwin, OUT, a direct hit at the non-striker's end. And Ashwin is well short. Full slower ball outside off, gets well forward and opens the face to run this to point. Shankar swoops down on that and releases quickly to hit the stumps on the half volley

M Ashwin run out 4 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 100

Goes around the wicket

Holder to Jordan, OUT, taken at short fine. Slower short ball just outside off. Looks for the pull shot again but this grips and gets big on him. The top edge floats straight to the fielder
