TOI
Gautam Gambhir’s Kolkata Knight Riders score 192/5, the highest target ever achieved in an IPL final, to win with 2 balls to go and deny Chennai Super Kings a hat-trick of titles
Twists & Turns
CSK race to 190/3 as Suresh Raina comes good with 38-ball 73
Player of the season Sunil Narine gets just one of the first 13 overs, which allows CSK batsman to get into groove. Ends with 0/37
Gambhir, IPL 5’s second-highest runscorer with 590 runs, falls early. But Manvinder Bisla (89) and Jacques Kallis (69) post 136-run stand to swing match back for KKR
Michael Hussey catches a Kallis slogsweep but topples over boundary as a dismissal turns into a six on the last ball of the 16th over
Kallis holes out off a Hilfenhaus full toss in the second-last ball of the 19th over as KKR seem to be choking on the brink of victory
With KKR needing 16 runs off 7 balls, Shakib al-Hasan is caught off Hilfenhaus but it’s called a no-ball for being above waist height and the batsmen run 2. Shakib then hits a 4 as a single ball costs CSK 7 runs
Batting at No. 7, Manoj Tiwary (9 runs off 3 balls) finishes off match in final over
I want to apologize to the kids for my misbehaviour at MCA. I shouldn’t have behaved in that manner. But today my team has won, so I guess all you fans should forgive me Shah Rukh Khan |
KKR OWNER
