KKR vs MI Scorecard, Highlights: Harshit Rana delivers a fantastic over under pressure, KKR win the match by 18 runs

Player of the Match: Varun Chakaravarthy: "Yeah, because I had never taken Rohit bhai's (Sharma) wicket. So celebration was coming. Obviously, there was help from the wicket, and I was able to use it to my advantage. The plan was to make him hit across the line. I had meticulously planned, and it came off. We (Narine and Varun) do talk. Tactically, we (Narine and Varun) are different, but technically, we are similar. He (Narine) bowls in front of the hand. I bowl from the back of my hand. I see what we do well and where we are improving. The ground is very small here at Eden Gardens. The wickets were too flat initially. My bowling has been the same from the first match. I have done the same thing. Mishits were going for six. I have been bowling the same, results are coming now."

KKR skipper, Shreyas Iyer: I think I manifested this before the game (on becoming the 1st side to qualifty for the playoffs). Nerves were there, boys have been raising their hands and there were many game-changers and kudos to each and every one of them. I feel whichever team plays the best, they got a great chance to win. They were going at great guns in the first 6 overs, and to bounce back from that situation it was nice to see. I wasn't thinking about stats or records, the weather wasn't great but we won the game and that's what is more important. It's all about understanding which bowler is doing well on that particular day, I feel both of them bowled well and my gut went with Varun (on bowling the 4th over) at that point and I backed him.
