SRH showing everyone what they can do with bat if they get it right. They did it consistently last season and reached the final as a result of that. Not this year and that's why they haven't qualified for the playoffs. But a timely reminder that next season, this marauding batting unit will be back. Watch out bowlers! On that note we sign off on double-header Sunday. Tomorrow a crucial game in the race for the top-two as PBKS take on MI. We will be there for that. Till then it's time to sleep tight and snore away heartily. See you soon. Bye bye.
Heinrich Klaasen | Player of the Match: As I said earlier, the franchise have invested a lot of money, they have been here for 12-13 years. We played brilliant cricket for the last three games, they gave us an incredible holiday and thanks to them. It's pride for us as well, got a lot of starts did not kick on, today I did. That's normally the plan on this wicket, the straight boundaries are short and the other boundaries are 50 or 60 metres. I look to play straight and did not take on too many fielders and I'm pleased for that. (on picking the lengths) I have worked a lot on it, have to spend a lot of time in the nets getting it right. Sometimes I challenge myself too much, but that's all part of growing up on what you can do and what you can't. (on if he likes batting up top) Just the number I want to go out, we lost wickets usually early on. Today we got a good start and I went in. Normally around the 5th, 6th over and just after the powerplay in the 7th over is when I like to go out, sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. They don't pay me for not doing well.
Pat Cummins: Amazing finish. The last few games of the season, lots of things clicked and it was scary to watch that kind of batting. With the calibre of the players we have, we can't play any worse than what we did earlier. With the players we have, we should be making the finals, this year we didn't. We get wickets like here, we got to max out and get 250-260 and other ones where we need to graft and get to 170 which we didn't. Quite a few people got opportunities, we looked at each one of them when selecting a team, but couldn't fit them in. Really happy with the squad we have got, few players went with injures back home, we used 20 players.
Harsh Dubey: (Plans today) Like last time, my plan was to stick to my strengths, try to turn the ball and get more revolutions on it. As a left-arm spinner, I wanted to use my angle. There are plenty of coaches in NCA that have helped me, like Sai sir (Sairaj Bahutule). I also have been talking to Ashwin (Ravichandran) whenever possible. (On his domestic season) When you perform in Ranji, it obviously helps with your performances here but I wasn’t necessarily thinking about the past.
Ajinkya Rahane | KKR captain: They batted really well, We made few errors while bowling. the way they batted, they capitalised on all the loose balls and also hit the good balls as well. Credit goes to SRH batters, their intent was really great. We did discuss about bowling the slower balls, bowling wider as well but sometimes if the bowlers don't execute the plan really well, batters like Klaasen and all the SRH batters ... they batted really well. We were short on the execution part and we made a lot of errors throughout the innings as a bowling unit. Throughout the season, we had our moments, we had our chances, 2-3 close games which we thought we didn't play as a unit. We tried our best, you got to be switched on every time. This format is really tough. No regrets, lots to learn from this season. We'll come back stronger next year.
First win for SRH against KKR after five consecutive defeats.

110 runs is the biggest defeat margin for KKR in the IPL, the previous biggest was 102 runs against MI at Eden Gardens in 2018.

110 runs is also the second-biggest win for SRH in terms of runs after their 118-run victory over RCB in Hyderabad in 2019.
23:18 Local Time, 17:48 GMT, 23:18 IST: SRH end their campaign on a fine note. They have hammered KKR here to sort of gain some revenge for their final loss last year.

Eshan Malinga to Harshit Rana, no run, SRH lose a review. Seam-up and very full outside off, Harshit Rana tries a square-drive, misses, no bat and UltraEdge proves it
SRH review for a caught behind. Ishan Kishan very confident. A noise as ball went past bat.
