IPL 2015: KKR beat KXIP by 4 wickets

KKR win by 4 wickets. Comfortable victory in the end.

Piyush Chawla in at No.8 to score the winning runs/

Congratulations all around in the KKR dugout to the dismissed Russell.

Russell's middle stump send flying by Mitchell Johnson. 1 more run to get off 14 balls. Job well done by the West Indies all-rounder.

3 needed off 17 balls! #WinItKKR #Go4More

Glenn Maxwell drops Russel. That's what happens, when australians tries catching in Indian style. #KXIPVsKKR

Yusuf Pathan deserves credit here. He’s rotated the strike and played second-fiddle to the awesome Andre Russell. #IPL #KXIPvKKR #KXIP #KKR

Russell goes for it again. Goes miles in to the air, dropped by Maxwell.

SIX! Russell bends his knee and swats it past the bowler.

0 2 0 4 0 0 0 4 0 4 0 4 0 0 0 1 4 6 4 2 2 1 4 1 0 2 1 4. 28-ball 50 for Russell, he's leading #KKR home #CB #IPL #KXIPvKKR

Russell reaches his half-century. What a game-changing innings!

Yusuf Pathan getting into the act as well. KKR need 31 off last 5 overs.

Andre Russell is the new Kieron Pollard; if #KKR don't retain him he’ll fetch a fortune at the next auction. #IPL #KXIPvKKR #KXIP

Andre Russel has two jobs 1. To STRIKE 2. Keep Yusuf Pathan off strike #KXIPVsKKR

Replays show Tendo got a big inside edge, unlucky to have been given out.

Maiden over by Sandeep Sharma. Also took 2 wickets in that over. Unplayable!

OUT! 4th wicket for @sandeep25a. What a spell from this young man. Just awesome. #KXIP #IPL #KXIPvKKR #LivePunjabiPlayPunjabi
— Kings XI Punjab (@lionsdenkxip) April 18, 2015

Sandeep Sharma strikes again! KKR lose their 5th. Rescue mission required now.

#KKR are losing too many wickets and in a bunch. Captain Gambhir falls now, 3rd wkt for Sandeep. #KKR in a hole at 60/4 #IPL #KXIPvKKR
— Cricbuzz (@cricbuzz) April 18, 2015

That’s an awful innings from Gautam Gambhir. When you’ve used that many balls you just have to fight on through. #IPL #KXIPvKKR #KXIP #KKR
— Freddie Wilde (@fwildecricket) April 18, 2015

And Gambhir out for 11. KKR's breezy hitting comes to a halt. Pathan at the crease, Ryan ten Doeschate new man in.

Surya Kumar Yadav the new man in, and off to a confident start.
