0.0 :

Shikhar Dhawan says his daughter is already playing cricket, and he fully supports her choice. The kid is 12 years old, we think.

Sidhu paaji is on Sony ESPN as well. It's going to be a tough ride for us if he carries on.

David Warner has won the toss and Sunrisers Hyderabad will bat first.

Gautam Gambhir says KKR were looking to bowl first anyway.

Here's the match preview for the KKR-SRH match

Hyderabad have stepped on the accelerator in the last three overs. They have scored 30 runs and both Morgan and Naman Ojha are showing a sense of urgency. 10 an over from here is an absolute must. It will get them to 144, which is below par but defendable. 
0.2 :

FREE HIT, and Warner misses the slow dipping delivery. This is one of the better deliveries to bowl for a free hit. Another one is a wide yorker outside off. Nearly always prevents a boundary.

FREE HIT, and Warner misses the slow dipping delivery. This is one of the better deliveries to bowl for a free hit. Another one is a wide yorker outside off. Nearly always prevents a boundary.

OUT. David Warner falls to a slower delivery, a cutter. This was the delivery after he was praised to the moon by the commentary team. 

Meanwhile, Dhawan is being reviled, statistically.

Well they kicked out the only commentator with real class, and they love the likes of Navjot Sidhu and Danny Morrison. What to say!
2.3 :

OUT. Another slower ball, another display of poor technique from SRH batsmen. Hooda is the newest batsman to fall, he was committed to the big hit down the ground, played a little early and hit it straight to long on.

Meanwhile, Eoin Morgan has 14 off 20 balls. This is more due to great bowling by KKR than the nature of the wicket. No commentator's talking about this though.

Brilliant relay catch from Andre Russell and Piyush Chawla on the boundary to dismiss Naman Ojha. We'll get the video here as soon as possible. But here's what someone said just before it happened.
12.5 :

A six by Eoin Morgan. SRH are 73 in the 13th over. They cannot hope for more than 150 from here. Narine is bowling much slower, but it isn't very hittable. SRH have to keep some minimum score in the frame. 150 from here is 77 off the next 7 overs.

5.6 :

Sunrisers lose three in the first six overs. At 36/3, the run rate is also exactly six. But unlike some of the previous games, we have to credit good bowling for SRH's state of affairs. It hasn't been so much about reckless hitting.

One thing must be mentioned though. Dhawan was out to bounce, Warner to the slower ball and Henriques to swing. This suggests not just good bowling on the part of KKR but poor technique from the opposition batsmen. T20 really exposes the frailty of modern batsmen's techniques.

Sunil Narine is bowling for the first time in this IPL. Five off his first over and its time for the strategic timeout. SRH are 48 in 9 overs, and in double trouble - with the run rate and with the wickets coloumn.

SIX. Naman Ojha cuts over third man for six. Very very short from Morkel but it was easy paced. The partnership is 53 off 37. Two off the last ball, 11 off the over. They are on track to get close to 150. 

Eoin Morgan hits a six off the last ball as SRH spoil the over for the opposition yet again. At 125/5, 25 more will get them to 150.  Morgan has reached his fifty. He has played both a sheet anchor's role and then that of a power hitter. 

SIX. This is habitual now. Wicket of Eoin Morgan in the over, and then the last ball disappears for six. SRH have stayed abreast of the 10-per-over requirement in the last 7 overs. They were 64 after 12, they are 135 after 19. KKR have developed a bad habit of bowling well the whole over and then short or too full the last ball.

Here's the catch we promised we'd show:

Andre Russell manages to avoid conceding a boundary in the last over, even off the last ball. SRH score 142/7, a below par score. They did get 78 from the last 8 overs, but never did they manage a really big over, say 18 . Overall, KKR will be the happier team. 142 should give them a 70-30 chance in this game.

End of over: SUN 142/7 (Sharma 2, Kumar 0)
2.0 :

KKR begin with 13 runs off the first two overs. Almost as if its tradition in this game, Gambhir hits a boundary off the last ball of the 2nd over. 

At six overs, KKR have the exact score that Sunrisers Hyderabad had - 36. But they have lost three fewer wickets. 

I think he meant it the other way around:
3.1 :

Maybe Uthappa's gonna perform well today as well.  

Bring back Mustafizur then.

Gautam Gambhir gets yet another half century. He's set KKR on the path to victory again. I wonder why he's been permanently dropped from the Indian side. He'll surely do better than Dhawan.

Sunrisers miss another run out chance after the batsman had given up. The batsman was Manish Pandey. They have missed many direct hits tonight, including two against Gambhir. The result may have been different if they had hit.
17.2 :

FOUR. Gambhir keeps up the boundary hitting spree. But here's the video of Andre Russell's dismissal:

FOUR. Gambhir finishes it off with a boundary, taking his score to 90. He defended the first ball so that he could have the appropriate chance to hit a boundary. KKR chase down the target comfortably with 10 balls to spare and 8 wickets in hand. They have outplayed SRH in bowling, batting and fielding. Gambhir will be seriously knocking on the doors of the Indian team if he keeps batting like this.
4.3 :

Robin got hit on the hand by one that bounced a little higher. As he gets an icepack, we stand up for the national anthem for the India-Australia Azlan Shah Cup final.

The Shikhar Dhawan trolling continues on Twitter.

Also, the KKR twitter handle has been putting up 'videos' all day. Here's what they look like. This is fabulous.

OUT. Utthappa falls, LBW. A long, long, long appeal by Ashish Reddy bears fruit after an age. Utthappa had underedged the last ball just past his stumps to the keeper earlier. Perhaps a lapse of focus?

FOUR, FOUR. Gambhir continues to amaze this IPL and hit boundaries one after the other as well. Surely he's seeking a return to the Indian side?
13.4 :

Did he say get Mustafizur back? He bowls a brilliant, brilliant slower yorker that Andre Russell has no chance of digging it out. Middle stump is sent flying, off stump pegs back and leg stump lights up as well. Andre Russell is down on his face at the end of it.

Bangladesh cricket loves it.

7.5 :

50 stand up between Gambhir and Utthappa in the 8th over. The run is just above six but they have wickets in hand. Still, some acceleration would help at this stage. If a couple of wickets fall they will have to dig in and then the required run rate could get out of hand.

8.6 :

FOUR. Boundary off the last ball again. KKR are 61/0 and now beginning to create some distance between runs scored and balls faced.

 

FOUR, FOUR, FOUR. Three consecutive boundaries from Gambhir in the last over, and KKR suddenly are well on track for a win. 86 in 11 overs. They have scored 50 in the last 5 overs. SRH at this stage were 55/4. Huge difference between the two sides now.
