Axar bowls a wide before Narine takes one off the last ball to get 12 from the over as KKR continue to boost the tempo.
Skipper Ashwin comes back and comes under attack from Narine. He lofts the first ball over the covers for a four before smashing the next ball straight, beating the fielder at long-on for successive boundaries.
A single to Narine before Ashwin beats Uthappa, who attempts the sweep and misses but the appeal for LBW is turned down.
Axar continues as Uthappa decides to join the party, smashing the left-arm spinner straight down the ground for a four, despite the dive from the fielder at long-off.
A single to Narine off the third ball helps the left-hander race to his half-century, from just 26 balls.
He then pulls a short ball from Axar for a four as KKR race to 93 for one in nine overs.
