Kolkata in IPL final for first time - KKR beat DD by 18 Runs!
 |
| Yusuf Pathan struck form at the right time for Knight Riders, blitzing 40 to set up their 18-run win against Daredevils and put them in the IPL final |
Yusuf Pathan, man-of-the-match: Always big hopes from me, not performing in the previous games, but I know that I can get going in a big match. I had a lot of time to get in and adjust myself to the track today. We are waiting for the big game, will relax and await for it eagerly.
Comments:
Gautam Gambhir: We always felt that it was a 140-145 wicket, but when we got 160, we thought it was an above par score. Not only about Kallis, all of them have bowled have bowled very well, lot of credit to all the bowlers including Balaji, Abdulla, Narine and others. We have four days for Balaji to recover from the injury.
Virender Sehwag: We did not bat well, 160 was chaseable, we lost two early wickets and failed to make it in the last few overs. Aaron and Yadav are bowling brilliantly, cannot sit them out, it was a tough choice but we thought that the grass might help the pace bowlers. We have another chance to get there, we cannot relax, need to go all out.

Wasim Akram: Happy to be associated with KKR, great bunch of boys, love to stick around with each other. Long story what's changed from the first four years, but to cut it short, its all because of a very good captain and an enthusiastic owner. We read the wicket well, we played four spinners, they played only one, had they got in another spinner or two, it could have gotten lot closer. My job is to not change's bowler's action, it is to tell them about the different match situations and how to react to them.
Shank: "It's good the finals are in Chennai and not Mumbai else SRK would have to watch it on television."
Vikram: "The IPL is a good test bed for captains. Sehwag came up a cropper. Gambhir showed his mettle. I have always thought that Gambhir should be the vice captain or the test captain or both for India."
Achint: "Luckily delhi has got one more chance to fix their batting order, if they want to send venu and ojha ahead of taylor, then better not to have taylor at all in the line-up and include Merwe if pitch assists spinners or Russel otherwise"
DD Supporter: "I'd love to hear from Sehwag what his reasoning would be for some of the decisions he made today especially Venu and Negi before Taylor and Pathan, which I think costed the game for them."
