11.38pm Another thrilling IPL game. Somehow, Kings XI overcome a sub-par total and a strong Daredevils start to defend their 143. JUUUST! It was not a very clever chase from Daredevils, there was a steadying gear and an aggressive gear. Nothing in between. That's where they fell behind the chase as wickets fell right through that innings. Sran wasn't excellent, but his fourth over was, putting the equation beyond Daredevils.

There were economical spells from Tye, Rajpoot, Mujeeb and Ashwin, pushing the required rate up and allowing Sran to have a bad day. But Sran fought back well too. It was a terrific defensive effort from Kings XI, as they move to the top of the table.

Presentation time.

Ankit Rajpoot is the Man of the Match: "It's my responsibility for the team. I had to get wickets. Wanted to bowl wicket to wicket, and not use too many variations."

R Ashwin: "We were more discussing of what to be bowling, rather than what to be bowling. I decided Mujeeb will be bowling the 20th over. I thought AJ (Tye) was the best bowler on the day. Coach says nothing. If we were serious about winning, this is a game we needed to win. The ball skidded on, more trying to get their wickets. They wanted to attack, which fell in our hands."

Gautam Gambhir says "when you lose three wickets in the first six overs, it's always difficult. Avesh bowled well, Shaw is a player for the future. We've got to win seven games. Our bowling was good today, but couldn't cross the line"

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Iyer, OUT, taken at long-off and Kings XI win by four runs. Gambhir has his head in his hands. Iyer looks up. A flatter trajectory delivery outside off is chipped away to long-off. Finch takes the reverse-cupped catch and Kings XI begin their celebrations.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Iyer, 2 runs, slogged away with bad timing to deep midwicket. A misfield allows two. Struggled for timing. Iyer initially didn't want even one.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Iyer, SIX, six! NOT OVER YET. It's flat and wide, Iyer stands back and slaps a swat straight back over the bowler's head for six. sensational timing. Delhi are dancing again.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman to Iyer, no run, good length, flat down leg. Iyer can't connect. The ball hits the pad to fine leg.

Righto, righto. Another thriller in the IPL. Iyer and Delhi need 17 off 6 balls. Ashwin says Mujeeb is the man.

No helmet for Iyer. Point, third man and backward point in.
