IPL 2021 Highlights, SRH vs KKR: Pandey's fifty goes in vain as KKR win by 10 wickets

"I was trying my best to get the pace up. There wasn't much in the wicket and I had to put in something to get the ball to the keeper. We had a very good 10-day camp to get everyone into good nick and it's nice that everyone has chipped in. The wicket was slow, not easy to hit off a length which I realized while bowling and they (Rana and Tripathi) did really well. Vijay Hazare Trophy, Syed Mushtaq Ali and all those games have gotten me game time and helped me with my performances. Confidence is upbeat now because I am coming off a good series and I hope to contribute further for my team. Some of the biggest hitters are in my side, so I am quite fortunate. But all the players are down to earth and it's really nice being part of this team," said Prasidh Krishna.

"I didn't think there were that many runs on this wicket. They adapted really well, had a good partnership. We failed to execute the first ball of most overs and then conceded a lot at the end. We lost early wickets, and Jonny and Manish got us in a good position, so we had our chances. The dew made a difference. If the bowlers overpitched, it was easy to hit it, and with the height in their team, and with the cross-seam, it stopped a little bit on us. We would like to have won the first game, but we have four more games at this venue and hopefully we will get used to the square and the dimensions of this ground," said David Warner after losing to KKR by 10 runs.

Manish Pandey (61*) hammered a six off the last ball but that wasn't enough as SRH lost the game by 10 runs. KKR register their third consecutive win against the Sunrisers.

SRH need 22 runs off the last over and Andre Russell comes into the attack. Abdul Samad - who just slammed Cummins for a couple of sixes - faces the first ball of the final over.

Cummins to Samad - SIX! Sensational hit. He picked it so well and dispatched down the ground for a mighty maximum.

Cracking Shot from Vijay Shankar. Makes the room and pulls it over deep midwicket for a beautiful SIX.

WICKET! That's the end of Mohammad Nabi's innings. Prasidh Krishna's slower ball does the trick. Nabi wanted to go over midwicket but ends up getting caught by Morgan at cover. SRH: 131/4 after 15.6 overs

What a shot from Nabi, that too, after getting hit. Full and wide and Nabi slams it over extra cover for a boundary.

A sharp bouncer from Prasidh Krishna that hits Mohammad Nabi on the back of his neck. Looks like a nasty blow. Nabi is getting attended by the team physio and the umpires call for strategic time out.
