So Delhi climb to number 2 in the points table, and they seem to gelling well as a unit.

Carlos Brathwaite is the Man of the Match, for is all round performance: "First contribution in the IPL, so happy. Back you process, back your plans, the backroom staff does a commendable job and keeps everyone happy. Had to vent out my frustration (after that over)."

Zaheer Khan: "We have faith in our batters. We speak about freedom to express. We are still playing good cricket despite not getting good starts. As long as we get to par score, it is fine. Sam Billings and Karun got us in a winning position. Bowling in the first six was important and that is why me and Shami bowled three each. It was our plan to create the pressure at the start. It was a little sticky with the new ball. The wicket gets better in the second innings. Amit took a sensational catch, was important to dismiss Russell then."

Kolkata had the game under control when Uthappa and Russell were on the rampage after 16 overs, but then the catch by Mishra turned it all around.

Gautam Gambhir: "We didn't expect they would get 187 after the first over. Credit goes to them with the way Karun and Billings batted. We need to be more professional with bat, ball and in the field as well. If it is a good wicket, then it is difficult to contain. That is why we picked Hoggy, but Nair and Billings laid the platform for the final overs. If you have to win a tournament, everybody needs to contribute, cannot rely on one or two players. Hopefully we do well in the next game, which is the last one for us away from home as we are playing 5-6 games at home after that."

Amit Mishra turned the match, with that catch to dismiss Andre Russell. Delhi are now a formidable unit going ahead.

18.2 Zaheer to Umesh, 1 run and RUN OUT! Slower ball, no contact, they try to take the second, Shreyas Iyer runs in and has a shy at the stumps and dislodges it. Iyer has been all over the field and once again makes his presence felt.

16.6 Mishra to Russell, OUT! Russell comes down and smokes it back towards the bowler. Mishra ducks down and sticks out his hand and collects an unbelievable catch! He was not even looking at the ball! He then gives Russell proper send-off. So brave from the bowler, when Russell hits them, they really travel. Great catch.

16.5 Mishra to Russell, FOUR! Full delivery, goes for the slog sweep, no timing whatsoever, but brute power puts it between the fielders at the deep in the leg side.

14.3 Mishra to Uthappa, 1 run, flighted delivery inviting Uthappa to play it, he takes the bait, slices it and the fall flies in the air, lands safe though. That was sliced, but it has ended well for KKR. Lucky break.

14.2 Mishra to Uthappa, no run, short and outside off, faster though, cut away with no timing.

14.1 Mishra to Uthappa, SIX! Down the track and lifts it over long off with ease to bring up his 50. Flighted ball reaches the pitch of the ball and then his timing takes over. Has timed this innings brilliantly so far, and he has been the glue.

14.1 Mishra to Uthappa, 1 WIDE, down the leg side.

74 needed off the final 6 overs. One has to say, this is Andre Russell's territory.

13.5 Brathwaite to Uthappa, 1 run, back of a length and on leg stump, flicked away to deep backward square.
