Stats Highlights:

1: Yusuf Pathan became the first player to be dismissed “obstructing the field” in IPL. He is also only the fourth player in all Twenty20 cricket to be out in this manner after Faisalabad Wolves’ Ahmed Hayat (vs Karachi Dolphins at Lahore in 2005), Basnahira South’s Chinthaka Perera (vs Wayamba at Colombo SSC in 2009) and Trinidad & Tobago’s Adrian Barath (vs Canada, Bridgetown, 2012).

8: Number of bowlers used by Pune Warriors India – most by a side in a match in IPL 2013.

9: Number of consecutive matches after which Pune Warriors India finally registered a win. They had last won a match against Chennai Super Kings at Chennai exactly a month ago.

11: Number of wickets lost by both Pune Warriors India and Kolkata Knight Riders as run-out in IPL 2013 – most such dismissals for any side.

49: Number of consecutive innings after which Yusuf Pathan scored a fifty in IPL. His last fifty had come against Deccan Chargers (73* off 34 balls) at Ahmedabad on March 26, 2010 – more than three years ago!

Presentation quotes:

Gambhir: Tough pill to swallow. The way Pathan was going we should have won the game. Pretty freak dismissal, not seen it in my career, but I don't know. We haven't played good cricket, not been consistent enough.

Finch: We have played some good cricket throughout the tournament but haven't been able to get over the line. We are happy to knock KKR off given that we had nothing else to play for tonight.

Manish Pandey is the man of the match: It feels great after losing nine games. We could not do as we expected as a team but happy today.

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 ...

(Also Read:  Sachin Tendulkar's 200 facts ) Tendulkar made his debut at the age of 16 against Pakistan and hence held a six-year lead over the Australian Ponting and South African Kallis and almost a seven-year lead against fellow Indian middle order batsman Dravid. He began his international career one year before Lara. Set to play his 200th and farewell Test at the Wankhede Stadium from Thursday, Tendulkar added two more teammates in Mumbai’s Rohit Sharma and Bengal’s Mohammad Shami who were capped against the West Indies last week at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata. This took his teammates tally to 110 teammates, one behind England’s Frank Woolley (111 in 64 Tests) and seven behind England’s Graham Gooch (118...

Propelled by Rohit Sharma’s magnificent double-century, India marched to a 153-run win in Kolkata.
