They put on 99 for the first wicket before Kiwi McCullum was run out for 37 off 29 balls and Gambhir followed one run later having smashed 62 runs from only 43 balls including six sixes. The Knight Riders lost momentum after that with Jacques Kallis aggrieved to be caught for just four, Manoj Tiwary and Yusuf Pathan holing out to Dwayne Bravo in the deep and Laxmi Shukla out for nine. Debabrata Das managed to find the middle of the bat to hammer 19 runs off 10 balls, nevertheless Kolkata will feel they should have posted more - Shadab Jakati's two wickets for 26 the pick of the bowlers. Michael Hussey (56) and Murali Vijay (36) were also in no mood to surrender their wickets at the top of the Chennai reply, the two combining for 97 runs before Sunil Narine removed them in the space of three balls. Suresh Raina was run out for eight and Faf du Plessis soon followed leaving MS Dhoni to try and guide the Super Kings to victory which he partly did, leaving Bravo to hit the winning six.
