In 2016, KKR suffered a loss and won one game to kick off the season. In their first away game of the season, pacers Morne Morkel (2/35) and Umesh Yadav (3/28) combined to restrict Sunrisers Hyderabad to 142 in their 20 overs.

On a slowish track, Gambhir dropped anchor and batted through to help KKR win by 8 wickets. He scored an unbeaten 90 in 60 balls giving KKR the second win of the season. He set the tone right at the top with Robin Uthappa as the duo shared a 92-run opening stand, giving KKR the start they needed. They played out SRH’s main bowlers, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mustafizur and looked to score against the other bowlers. The inexperienced bowlers were taken for runs as KKR cruised to victory.

Even though Umesh Yadav took three wicket-haul that set up the game, it was Gambhir who was awarded with the player of the match for his composed knock of 90.
