Shreyas Iyer, KKR captain: Pretty much comprehensive victory. Fielded well and bowled well. Was important to bowl slower ones as much as possible because of the heat and the wicket becoming dry. We executed phenomenally well. When we got wickets, it gave us the advantage to come in and put an attacking effort. Character and attitude bowlers showed was exceptional. Will keep reiterating that it's a funny tournament and have to stay in the present as much as possible. Have to seize the moment and not leave it on someone else.

Phil Salt, POTM: Said to Swanny before the game, I felt I was melting. Good to get another win home. Before the lights came on, it was a bit slower. After lights came on, there was some moisture and it quickened up. I've loved it (his time here). Got some great overseas players, some great coaches. GG is back in the fold which is great.Not much running today (his boundary hitting).

Congratulations to Parm for winning the 28th prediction game.

Cheers..

Congratulations Parm for winning the 28th match badge. 

It was a good toss to win for KKR, with the pitch playing better under lights for batters than it did in the afternoon as Salt admitted there. Still, LSG need to sort their batting issues out. That middle order, with the exception of Pooran, looks very vulnerable as the previous game showed as well. Their bowling hasn't been much better either. As for KKR, they bounce back nicely after the defeat at Chepauk to make it four wins in five games.
