Andre Russell and Yusuf Pathan are among the most powerful strikers of the ball in world cricket. The Chinnaswamy Stadium is among the world's smaller grounds, and contains one of its flatter pitches. The ingredients came together spectacularly as Kolkata Knight Riders' Nos. 5 and 6 defied a steep asking rate and put on 96 runs in 44 balls to power their side to a five-wicket win, with five balls remaining, over Royal Challengers Bangalore.
Bowling first, Knight Riders had kept Royal Challengers quiet for 17 overs, despite half-centuries from KL Rahul and Virat Kohli. Shane Watson, Sachin Baby and Stuart Binny then plundered 54 off the last three overs to lift Royal Challengers to 185.
