Chasing 124, SRH lost Quinton de Kock (0) with nothing on board as Praveen Kumar uprooted his middle stump. Vihari and Akshath Reddy together strung a partnership and rebuilt the innings putting on 48 runs for the second wicket. Vihari hit consecutive boundaries off Piyush Chawla's first over. Manpreet Gony provided the breakthrough as Azhar Mahmood pulled off a stunning one-handed catch to dismiss Akshath Reddy (19). At the halfway stage SRH were 56 for 2, still requiring 68 runs. 

Vihari (46) was caught by David Hussey as he played an uppish drive off Chawla. Needing 36 runs off 30 balls, SRH lost Cameron White (16) as Gony made a mess of his stumps. Mahmood trapped Biplab Samantray (10) leg before the very next over. With 18 runs off the final two overs, Perera (23*) hit Mahmood for three huge sixes to finish the match in style. SRH reached the target with seven balls remaining.

Earlier KXIP won the toss and elected to bat first. They lost Mandeep Singh (10) early when Ishant Sharma struck. After a slow start, Adam Gilchrist got a move on smashing three boundaries off Thisara Perera's 6th over. At the end of the power play, KXIP were 36 for 1. With runs difficult to come by, Gilchrist (26) tried to break the shackles and attempted a big hit off Karan Sharma, only to be caught at deep midwicket. Paul Valthaty (6) perished soon after caught by Perera off Karan Sharma to leave KXIP at 48 for 3 in 9 overs.

Promoted up the order, Chawla launched Karan Sharma for two massive sixes in the 11th over. Hussey joined in by slamming Ishant Sharma over the mid-wicket fence. KXIP lost Chawla (23) to a run out affected by Perera to peg them onto the back-foot yet again. Gurkeerat Singh ((17) got on with the task straight away hitting Mishra for a six. Hussey (22) then fell trying to accelerate off Ishant Sharma. The KXIP lower order then capitulated as they lost four wickets in five deliveries to leave them in disarray. They eventually finished at 123 for 9 from their 20 overs.

Presentation

Gilchrist: Losing those wickets was the turning point, looked good to get to 140 then we lost four wickets for nothing. It's about getting the consistency, the bowlers are doing a good job but the batsmen keep letting them down.

White: We like the close games, don't we? 140 was always going to be tough chase as Adam said. Vihari's had a nice tournament so far which is a good thing about the IPL, allowing youngsters to perform. The bowlers are doing a good job, Mishy, Ishant, Dale, Karan. Takes a bit of skill to hit those sixes.

Vihari gets the man of the match award: Very happy with the performance, most importantly, the team won. I don't mind bowling just one over, important to bowl it well. For this wicket, the target was very suitable for, sad that I couldn't see it through.

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores ...
