After losing top 4 inside 7 overs, skipper Markram and the in-form Klaasen took up the repair job and did that pretty well. The duo stitched a 70-run stand for the fifth wicket and put their side on course for a 4th win of the season. KKR, however, weren’t prepared to give up.
After conceding 12 off his 1st over, Varun Chakravarthy was only introduced after the departure of Klaasen and the plan paid dividends. SRH got some luck in the form a no-ball from Vaibhav Arora in the penultimate over, but Samad couldn’t put bat to ball on the freehit. In the end, Varun held his nerves to complete a thrilling victory for the two-time champions.
