That is all from this game. Good night

Kuldeep Yadav is the Man of the Match. Kuldeep: "Did not get a chance in IPL, this time I got a chance and I am happy to be in the playing XI."

Gambhir: "Guys have taken up great responsibility. Suryakumar Yadav, unbelievable innings, great head on his shoulders, he has got a great future. Also Kuldeep Yadav. We needed someone who can complement Sunil, he is someone who can. Piyush has also bowled well. Yusuf too, we have used him cleverly, it might help him produce runs. He has been hitting the ball well. Overall we are looking good. There is a lot of hunger in the dressing room."

Yadav: "Yusuf told me to play my natural game, just go on with your shots. Initially I was thinking of giving strike to him." Says he was with Coulter-Nile at Mumbai Indians and knows the lengths he bowls at the death.

Voges: "We have had two close games. Unfortunately came out on the wrong side tonight. We missed our lengths in that over (19th). We took wickets but they took the game away from us in that over. We knew we were in the game with 150. With this line-up they keep coming at you."

So the KKR winning streak is 12 now. Thanks to Suryakumar Yadav, who blitzed an unbeaten 43 off 19. Scorchers fought till the end, but it was those two successive sixes by Yadav off Coulter-Nile in the 19th that sealed it for KKR.

b4u8me2: "I cannot understand KKR's use or lack of use of Russell. He didnt bowl and he is batting at number 8 with less that 5 overs to go. They they expect him to come out and immediately have a strike rate of 200. Same misuse of Pollard for many years."
