Karn Sharma to Gambhir, FOUR. All over! With this win KOL have won 4 out of 5 against HYD on this ground. It was floated up invitingly and Gambhir dances down the pitch to bludgeon that over mid-wicket. Brings up the winning runs in style and embraces Manish Pandey. On the other hand, HYD have a lot of thinking to do...

Mustafizur to Gambhir, FOUR, one bounce and over the ropes! Full and right in his swinging zone, Gambhir deposits over mid-wicket with a full swing of the arms. Muscled!
15.3 -
Barinder to Gambhir, FOUR, Gambhir is making Barinder Sran look silly here. What a classy batsman! Hangs back for this back of a length delivery and executes the late-cut to perfection, past backward and way she goes...
15.2 -
Barinder to Gambhir, FOUR, he's played that shot so well all day. When it is short, Gambhir had no second thought in his mind. Jumps back and murders the pull over mid-wicket
14.3 -
Ashish Reddy to Gambhir, FOUR, overcompensates this time, slips a length ball down leg and pays the price. Gambhir half-turns and pulls along the ground behind square leg
14.2 -
Ashish Reddy to Gambhir, FOUR, too much of width on offer and Gambhir goes up and over cover. Flays it over extra cover with an uppish loft
10.4 -
Karn Sharma to Gambhir, FOUR, this time through mid-wicket. Just a flick of the wrists on this whip, since the ball is full and in Gambhir's zone, it scorched off the turf beating Henriques' desperate dive in the deep
10.3 -
Karn Sharma to Gambhir, FOUR, "That is Gautam Gambhir's signature shot" murmurs Michael Holding on air. Dancing down the pitch and lofting an inside-out drive over extra cover. Ah, such a pleasing sight...
10.2 -
Karn Sharma to Gambhir, FOUR, Gambhir ain't missing out on this one. Short and wide, he rocks back and cuts fiercely to the right of deep backward point. Bhuvi dives but to no avail
9.0 -
Bhuvneshwar to Gambhir, FOUR, nicely played by Gambhir, short and just outside off, he swivels across and flicks it fine, beats long leg to his left
7.4 -
Henriques to Gambhir, FOUR, too short from Henriques, can't bowl those at his pace. Gambhir swivels across and pulls it over square leg, almost went all the way, bounced just in front of the ropes
5.4 -
Barinder to Gambhir, FOUR, too short from Sran, Gambhir swivels across and pulls it behind square on the on-side. Karn was the fielder in the deep and he was well inside the ropes, the ball lobbed over him, bounced in front of the ropes for a boundary. Sran isn't impressed one bit with his effort
3.3 -
Barinder to Uthappa, FOUR, Clubbed! This was a back of a length delivery outside off, Uthappa presses forward and drills it back over Sran's head, a couple of bounces and over the ropes
2.4 -
Bhuvneshwar to Uthappa, FOUR, lovely shot, Uthappa has started well, tad fuller and a hint of angle back into the right-hander, Uthappa shuffles across, stays firm, closes the face of the bat at the last moment and eases it to the left of mid-on, no need to run for those
1.5 -
Barinder to Gambhir, FOUR, that's easy pickings for Gambhir, too short from Sran, Gambhir swivels across and pulls it over mid-wicket, a couple of bounces and over the ropes
0.3 -
Bhuvneshwar to Uthappa, FOUR, lovely shot, overpitched and well outside off, Uthappa leans forward, presents the full face of the bat and eases it square past point, rolls away to the fence in a hurry
17.5 -
Mustafizur to Gambhir, SIX, this will do! The slower ball outside off and Gambhir has picked the bones out of it. Stays nice and still and smokes it over a leaping long-on. Davey Warner was the fielder and must say it was a terrific effort from the stubby lad, just as Styris previously said before. It ain't their day today...
9.1 -
Henriques to Uthappa, SIX, cracking shot, leg-stump half-volley from Henriques, Uthappa shuffles across, gets inside the line and flicks it high and over backward square leg for a maximum
13.4 -
Mustafizur to A Russell, out Bowled!! Whoa! Andre Russell is on the floor. "Not many batsmen in the world could have done any better about that" yells LSR on air. Aptly put. How does he do that? Foxed Andre Russell with his subtle wrists and delivered a picture-perfect yorker at 135-plus ks. Russell went too deep and failed to get his bat down in time. The stumps are shattered and so is Andre Russell. Warner looks amazed, shares a wry smile with the bowler. A Russell b Mustafizur 2(5)

Ashish Reddy to Uthappa, out Lbw!! That's a loud cry, really loud cry. The umpire is thinking, thinking and then the finger goes up. A smile on Ashish Reddy's face. Was it heading towards the leg stump at least? Not really sure! Need a replay to confirm. Anyway, HYD have finally managed to break this excellent 92-run opening. It was the back-of-the-hand slower delivery from Reddy, Uthappa was almost on the walk as he tried to flick, lost balance and hence couldn't put bat on ball, impact was on middle and leg and the replay suggests that it would have hit the leg stump. Seems a decent call then! Uthappa lbw b Ashish Reddy 38(34) [4s-3 6s-1]
16.1 -
Bhuvneshwar to M Pandey, 1 run, this time its Manish Pandey! A direct hit from Karn Sharma would have been curtains for him. "Just hasn't been their night" concedes Scotty Styris on air. Well said Sir! Pandey meekly flicked to short mid-wicket, Sharma throws himself to his left and fails to ping the stumps with his throw
15.5 -
Barinder to Gambhir, 1 run, a direct hit from Shikhar Dhawan and Gambhir would have been a goner. He gave up mid-way. Tapped this slower ball towards cover and set off for a quick single. Dhawan aims and misses, Gambhir can breathe a sigh of relief now
12.1 -
Ashish Reddy to Gambhir, 1 run, that's nicely placed and Gambhir's raises another T20 League fifty. Ashish Reddy starts off with a slower delivery close to the off stump, but it's short enough and Gambhir had all the time to wait on the back foot and guide the drive past backward point. No real celebrations from the KOL skipper, just a gentle raise of the bat
7.5 -
Henriques to Gambhir, 1 run, the inswinging yorker from Henriques, Gambhir spots it early and flicks it to the left of mid-wicket, scampers across for a quick single
4.4 -
Mustafizur to Uthappa, 1 run, a direct hit and Gambhir would have been running back to the pavilion, tip and run stuff from Uthappa, dropped a length delivery in front of short cover and set-off. Gambhir was late to respond, Mustafizur hared across him, picked up the ball, had all three stumps to aim and missed with his shy. Gambhir was nowhere to be seen
