The win will keep Rana in good stead as leader. After Rana was named KKR captain, critics questioned the move as the team has Sunil Narine and Andre Russell in the side, who are T20 veterans. KKR got off to a terrible start with a loss but the team has made a strong comeback under Rana's leadership as he aims to take them to another final in IPL even without Shreyas Iyer. 


Coming back to the match, KKR coach Chandrakant Pandit was very happy with the way his side played. He was might impressed with Impact Player Suyash Sharma, who picked up 3 wickets on his IPL debut.
