Phew! The game is done; and with a good time to spare. Credit Cummins for that. A knock for the ages - aka 56* off 15 balls - makes it look like child's play, as Mumbai remain winless. But don't forget to join us for the action tomorrow. Until then, it's goodnight and goodbye from Miller, Ranjith and me, Himanshu!

Animesh: "Pakistan must be feeling lucky!! "

No prizes for guessing. Pat Cummins, of course, is the Player of the Match: "I am more surprised [with that innings]! It just came off. I was not trying to overthink. That's really satisfying. The ball seems to fly here... So just hitting in the shorter side. I am sure it sends a message...! We were lucky to keep the core of the squad like last year. Happy with how it came out [with the ball]. Overall pretty happy."

Shreyas Iyer can't help but smile: "I was just watching the ball fly! I couldn't believe. Outstanding from him. They just stuck to the plans, and before we could even execute the plan, Pat just finished it. When I went in to bat, I told him [Venky] to just time the ball. Batters batting in top four - one has to play the anchor. I was just saying that we still haven't played the best cricket yet. I think the pitch was the same in the powerplay of both innings. The ball was bouncing when I went in to bat."

Hang around for the presentations.

Prakash: "Illegal for bowler to hit like that" --- Dear MCC, any such law in the works?

Bimal: "Wasn't Cummins bought as a bowler? He can ask for a pay hike!" --- Of course, he has ended up celebrating his birthday a month in advance.

Manojkumar : "Wow Cummins you beauty. He compensated more than he conceded in his last over. "

Venky Iyer: "For everyone other than Put the pitch looked very tricky. Got to give it to Pat for that on a pitch which was actually tricky to bat on. There'll be days when you'll not be hitting the ball as well as you want... With the batting line-up that we have with some big-hitters coming, I could play the anchor role..."

Rohit Sharma on that shock: "Never expected him to come and play like that! Lot of credit to him for the way he played. With the bat we didn't start well. Over the last four overs, to get 160-plus was a great effort... We had the game until the 15th over, but the way Cummins played... We thought we could have them. But this will be hard to digest - the way it turned out to be in the last few overs. There is a lot of hard work we need to put in."

saikat: "All those hypes about Russell being tornado, cyclone, storm today but Cummins be like: hold my sixes! "

Maruti Suzuki ASKcricinfo stat: The most expensive overs in IPL history.

Rajiv: "What. Was. That. Huh."

11.02pm I need time to gather my thoughts. Incredible. Outstanding. Cummins plays a dream knock. If you thought the game was over when Russell departed, Cummins killed all of Mumbai's hopes. He threw the ball wherever he wanted; and equalled the record for the fastest IPL fifty.

Sams to Cummins, SIX, Oh God, Knight Riders have won with four overs to spare! They needed 35 from 30 balls, and Cummins got them all in six deliveries. Unbelievable stuff! Cummins ends with 56 off 15 balls. Four fours and six sixes in that innings. Slower ball on a full length on fifth stump, as he went slogging over the bowler's head. A lifetime of a T20 innings there

Is Iyer even batting? Anyone?

Sams to Cummins, FOUR, Cummins equals the record of the fastest IPL fifty! Just 14 balls for his fifty. Slower ball on a short of a length on off, and he pulls to deep square leg after letting the ball come to him

Free-hit

Sams to Cummins, (no ball) 2 runs, is that an excellent catch by Surya at long-off? That was taken extremely well, but it is called no-ball for height. Oh my, everything happening here. Sams ends up bowling a high full toss on off, and Cummins swats that to long-off with his bottom hand off. Surya there was falling back while he took the catch, with his back leg very close to the rope. He ended up going outside the rope and pushed the ball back in, only to be back in and take it again. So an outstanding effort all in vain there

Can he get to fifty off 13 balls? 14 is the record. Sams from around the wicket.

Sams to Cummins, SIX, 6, 4, 6, 6. He is on 44 off 12 balls now. On a shortish length on middle and leg, and he swivels to pull over fine leg. Great shot, as he piles up boundaries after boundaries

Sams to Cummins, SIX, six more! Over deep midwicket. You know how he did it, didn't you? Anyway, waits for the slower ball to come, gets his front leg out of the way, goes down on his back knee and really nails that over the fielder

Sams to Cummins, FOUR, between long-on and deep midwicket now! Sams bowls a slower ball, which turns out to be a full toss on off. Cummins clears his front leg, and sends that heaving
