A much-improved batting display saw the perpetual underachievers of IPL put up 163 for 4 in their 20 overs before they choked the Chargers' chase. The visitors, losing early wickets, looked lost till some lusty striking from Daniel Christian raised visions of victory. But they managed 154 for eight before the overs ran out.
For KKR, it was a performance that had them holding out a promise for Season 4. Jacques Kallis picked up from where he had left in the opener in Chennai to score another fifty, but it would have also pleased the Knights that everyone who came out with the bat chipped in. Kallis 53 off 45, Manvinder Bisla 19 off 21, Gautam Gambhir 29 off 18, Manoj Tiwary 30 off 21, Yusuf Pathan 22 off 15 made for an impressive collective show.
Later in the night, some good work in the field clinched it for Shah Rukh Khan's men. It all began with that battle within the battle that many had waited for. Kallis versus Dale Steyn, and the 25,000 on the terraces would vouch that it was unveiled even before the contest began when the South African all rounder stopped his national in the middle of his run-up for the first ball of the match.
