For the unversed, Narine conceded a run and picked up two wickets in the Super Over. 

Rinku was the player of the match as well. He hit a brilliant 51-ball 83* to help his side post a challenging 155 for seven. His maverick knock was laced with five sixes and seven fours. Not just that, Rinku also took four catches. 

"Whenever I go in to bat and the team has already lost 3-4 wickets, my focus is on how to control and take the game forward. I think about how to rotate strike - get singles and doubles - and where I can find boundaries. My main aim is always to take the game till the end. The plan was simple: since wickets had fallen, I focused on playing safe, building the innings with singles/doubles, and hitting a boundary whenever I got a bad ball," Rinku said at the post-match presentation. 

It is KKR's second win of the season. While they still remain in the 10th spot in the points table, the two wins have ensured they are still in the race for the playoff. Kolkata take on Hyderabad in their next game on May 3.
