KKR rode on the all-round brilliance of Andre Russell, who scored a ballistic 64 off just 25 deliveries, which included seven sixes. His knock ensured that the hosts posted a target in excess of 200 after Phil Salt scored 54.
In the run chase, SRH openers Mayank Agarwal and Impact Sub Abhishek Sharma got their side off to a blazing start. Their innings, however, were cut short before they could inflict further damage, walking back for 32 runs apiece.
The spin troika of Sunil Narine, Suyash Sharma, and Varun Chakaravarthy choked the run flow in the middle overs, leaving SRH with 76 runs to win in the last four overs.
However, Heinrich Klaasen stood tall and dealt exclusively in maximums. He smashed three sixes off IPL’s most expensive player, Mitchell Starc, in the 19th over to help his team come within just 13 runs.
Klaasen sent the ball into the crowd on the first ball of the final over, bringing the equation down to 7 runs off the last 5 balls. Harshit Rana, however, showed immense composure for someone so inexperienced and dismissed both Shahbaz Ahmed and Heinrich Klaasen to help KKR register a famous 4-run win.
