Match Report: This is KKR though and you can't keep a KKR spinner down. A miked-up Brad Hogg told the commentary team he thought the pitch would turn and he was spot on. He didn't waste time taking advantage either, bamboozling poor Pawan Negi, who was in a different zip code when Robin Uthappa removed the bails to complete the stumping.
Being the aggressive captain that he is, and knowing Delhi were wobbling on the ropes, Gautam Gambhir promptly brought on leggie Piyush Chawla as well. That gave us the delightful sight of two leg-spinners bowling in tandem with men around the bat. Who said T20 cricket is one-dimensional? Hogg and Chawla tied the Delhi middle and lower order up in knots and combined to take 5 for 40, with the 46-year-old Hogg finishing with 3 for 19 to ease any worries there might have been over Narine's absence.
On this night, however, the fast bowlers would have the final say. Hastings returned to finish off the innings and post figures of 2 for 6 from 2.4 overs. He combined with Russell to take 5 for 30, giving the Knight Riders' fast bowlers the bragging rights over their slow bowling compatriots for a change. The home side then capped off a good night with a stress-free chase, openers Gambhir and Uthappa both making runs as they cruised home with 35 balls to spare, their second-largest winning margin in terms of balls remaining.
