KKR vs KXIP - KKR end their home campaign with a win

KXIP, on the back of Glenn Maxwell's blazing innings, had registered a very good score. The home team dropped a series of catches, which didn't help their cause. However, in the end, Russell's heroics took them to victory.
Andre Russell and Yusuf Pathan gave a superb exhibition of power-hitting to take KKR to a thrilling one-wicket win. With this victory, KKR are now placed at the top of the points table. The hosts were in a spot of bother as they required 98 runs from the last eight overs. However, Russell and Yusuf changed the course of the game with their pyrotechnics. It was in the 14th over when Russell and Yusuf walloped Axar Patel for three sixes and a boundary to lift KKR's sagging spirits. Even after Yusuf was dismissed, Russell continued to smack the bowlers to all parts of the ground. He reached his fifty in a mere 19 balls. It got tense for KKR, before Piyush Chawla landed a meaty blow for six in the final over and they eventually won by one wicket.
