In the rain-curtailed match against the Rising Pune Supergiants in the Eden Gardens, the Knight Riders should thank the efforts of their big-hitting batsman Yusuf Pathan, who on a turning track single-handedly changed the course of the game with his lusty blows.

KKR was asked to chase 66 in 9 overs and they started in a disastrous manner as they lost their openers in the opening over. Ravichandran Ashwin outfoxed the opening duo and he was extracting plenty of turn from the slow Eden Gardens track.

Yusuf Pathan then arrived at the crease with his usual swagger and demolished Ashwin in the 3rd over to score 20 runs off him, that over changed the course of the match. Pathan’s blitzkrieg helped KKR finish the match in 5 overs and the match belonged to Pathan for his blistering knock of 37 not out in 18 balls.
