Kolkata Knight Riders 2012 IPL Champions



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



A STAR IS BORN
Man of the match Manvinder Sultansingh Bisla, 27, blazed 89 off just 48 balls. The Hisarborn wicketkeeperbatsman earlier played for Deccan Chargers and Kings XI Punjab. Was approached during recent TV sting on match-fixing but refused to take the bait
