Vinay to bowl the 19th over. He starts with a quick short ball outside the off-stump, beating Yusuf, who throws his bat at that but gets a single from the second ball.

Yadav ends in some style as he slaps the third ball through the covers for a four to take KKR to a convincing seven-wicket victory.

In the end, it turned out to be an easy win for the defending champions as they win with nine balls to spare.

Yadav played a breathtaking innings of 46 not out from 20 balls, hitting five sixes and a four, while Pathan was unbeaten on 14 from 12 balls.

Gambhir had rallied KKR after an early wicket as he stroked 57 from 43 balls, while Pandey smashed 40 from 24 balls.
