Presentation:

Virat Kohli is the Man of the Match: "The guys can be really proud of the way we played today. After the last game, I told the guys not to lose their head, it was a good game. There was a calm energy in the dressing room after this. Last year was tough for me in the IPL, but this year, I am not putting any expectation on myself. 160 odd was a good effort by our bowlers and it was a par score and I am glad that we chased it down. We would just concentrate on our game. "

Sangakkara: "Virat was the difference between the two sides. We were maybe a bit too slow in the first 10 overs, but then other batsmen caught up with the rate. White and Perera paced their innings really well and got us to a strong position. It hurts to lose, but we need to regroup quickly." Mayank Agarwal gets the innovative thinker award.

At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’
