Andre Russell: Very happy, very happy. We all know how important this game is. As big players, we all stood up. I am happy how I am bowling. I am happy how everyone is bowling. My fitness is a big part of that but mentally, I am in a better space. I was mentally down for last few years. I am in a better state, my body is feeling very good. We are not going to take it lightly. These guys will try to defend it. We need a good powerplay. The bowlers have done their job, now it’s up to us batters. Starc set the tone by castling Abhishek which is probably the ball of the tournament. Head fell for a first-ball duck to Vaibhav. Aiden Markram, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Heinrich Klaasen tried to revive the innings but the KKR bowlers were just too good. That Cummins at No. 9 was the top-scorer with 24 tells you how bad it went for SRH.
9.12pm An excellent bowling show from KKR who have bundled one of the most destructive batting line-ups in the tournament for a mere 113 – the lowest total in an IPL final. SRH won the toss but that is the only thing that has gone their way so far.
Russell to Cummins, OUT, All out for 113. Full on the stumps. Cummins lofts it down the ground but doesn’t get the required distance. Starc makes no mistake at long-on this time
