Sunil Narine (Player of the Match): "It's a nice milestone and to be able to perform like this is great for me and the team. No I think the self belief and the support staff giving encouragement and then lot of hard work.
I tried to keep it simple and pulled it back in the powerplay and after that. Wins always helps you and the team environment is great within us.
The support staff has given us freedom to express ourselves and do well for the team. Let's see how the next few games pan out for us."

PLAYER OF THE MATCH: SUNIL NARINE
Shreyas Iyer (Kolkata Knight Riders Captain): "Absolutely. In between we thought we played a lot of games. It was a long break and then got a few net sessions and then preparation was good for us.
Yes, the bowlers bowled well. Russell was spot on with his variations and slower balls. The communication between the bowlers was great.
Sunil Narine is an impact player and the way he started took the game away from us. We were contemplating a change but we stuck to it.
The pitch was good from one end and a bit two paced from the other end. Yes, we have a break.
We stay in Bangalore tomorrow and the go to Vizag next for their next game.
I am taking it one game at a time and not thinking too far ahead. I have no expectations from the team at the moment."

RCB haven't won a game at M.Chinnaswamy Stadium against KKR since 2015.
Venkatesh Iyer (Kolkata Knight Riders): "The back's a little dodgy. I'll require a scan.
"The wicket got better to bat in the second innings. Credit goes to Sunil Narine for taking the pressure off the remaining batters.
"A left-arm spinner (Mayank Dagar) was bowling, so, that's why I was sent ahead of Angkrish (Raghuvanshi).
"I would like to dedicate my innings to my fiancee.
"I think (Vijaykumar) Vyshak bowled really well. He used the variations perfectly. It was tough to face him.
"It was important to assess the pitch and wait for the loose deliveries. Luckily, things went in our favour."

Faf du Plessis (Royal Challengers Bengaluru Captain): "I think the wicket was two-paced during the first innings. It got better during the run-chase.
"I thought 182 was a little under-par. Virat (Kohli) was struggling to hit the ball due to lack of pace.
"Usually, there're aplenty what-ifs after a loss. I think KKR were excellent. The way Salt-Narine batted - they really broke the game in the first 6 overs.
"We've tried Maxwell and finger spinners are effective, but there wasn't much spin. And with KKR having a left-right combination, spinners can find it tricky. Ideally, we would've liked a bowler who can spin it both ways.
"(Vijaykumar) Vyshak was magnificent. We saw Andre Russell delivering 80% of his balls as cutters, so we knew that would work. Vyshak displayed great skillset."

-Kolkata Knight Riders become the first team in this IPL to win away from home.
10:47 PM IST and Local Time: That's it. We have the first away win of the IPL 2024 as the Kolkata Knight Riders have completed a comprehensive 7-wicket win over Royal Challengers Bengaluru in Bengaluru.

Earlier in the game, RCB were put into bat first by KKR. The hosts lost their skipper Faf du Plessis early.

Glenn Maxwell scored a quickfire cameo of 28 off 19 balls while Dinesh Karthik scored 20 off 8 balls. Just 4 extras given by KKR as RCB were restricted to 182/6 in 20 overs.
For KKR's point of view, Andre Russell and Harshit Rana picked up a couple of wickets apiece while Sunil Narine got a wicket to his name as well. They bowled well in the death overs and that turned out to be the difference in the end.
So, Kolkata Knight Riders won by 7 wickets with more than 3 overs to spare as the visitors climb upto 2nd in the points table in the early stages of IPL 2024. Stay tuned for the presentations.

16.5 M Dagar to S Iyer
6 SIXXXXX!!!! Shreyas Iyer finishes things off in style! KKR have dominated this game all the way and have thumped RCB by 7 wickets and 19 balls to spare. Slower through the air, 88.9 kmph, short of a length at the stumps. Shreyas rocks back and pulls it high and handsome over deep mid-wicket for a maximum. KKR become the first team in this IPL to win away from home. It has taken 10 games for a team to win away from home.
16.4 M Dagar to R Singh
1 Tossed up, full, drifting across, on off, Rinku lofts it down the ground for a single. The long-off runs to his left, bags the ball, and throws it back at the non-striker.
