On that note let us look at some of the key moments from the game; 

Mitchell Starc dismisses Abhishek Sharma 

Mitchell Starc was on fire during the powerplay, and Abhishek Sharma bore the brunt of his ferocity. On the fifth delivery of the first over, Starc bowled an angled ball that initially came in but then nipped away, breaching Abhishek’s defense.

Venkatesh Iyer takes on Bhuvneshwar Kumar 

When KKR lost Sunil Narine, it seemed worrisome for the Men-in-Purple. However, Venkatesh Iyer eased the tension by striking Bhuvneshwar for a boundary followed by two consecutive sixes. That over yielded 20 runs and further dampened SRH’s hopes.
