Varun Chakravarthy – 7. The spinner has become such a key player for Kolkata. This time round he took one for 32, although he did miss a tough catch, too. Sportzpics for BCCI
SUNRISERS HYDERABAD RATINGS: Kane Williamson – 7. Aggravated a hamstring injury in the field, but still came out to open the innings. He played a plucky role, too, with 29 from 19 balls. Sportzpics for BCCI
Jonny Bairstow – 5. Gave it away tamely just as his side needed him to steady the ship after two quick wickets. He had been in fine touch till then. Sportzpics for BCCI
Priyam Garg – 7. Undone by a fine bit of bowling from Ferguson, after his surprise elevation to No 3. Still in credit, after his brilliant catches to get rid of Gill and Rana. Sportzpics for BCCI
David Warner – 8. Timed his push almost perfectly, only to miss out on the two needed off the last delivery. Heartbroken by his first-baller in the Super Over. Sportzpics for BCCI
Manish Pandey – 5. As sprightly as ever in the field, but was on the receiving end of an unplayable yorker by Ferguson. Sportzpics for BCCI
Vijay Shankar – 7. An unheralded and unthreatening fifth bowler for Hyderabad, but he performed admirably, with one for 20 off his four overs. His team needed runs, too, though. Sportzpics for BCCI
Abdul Samad – 7. It shows the esteem in which he is held that he was brought in at the drop of Warner’s wicket in the Super Over. He played a fine hand in normal time. Sportzpics for BCCI
Rashid Khan – 7. He was not quite as compelling watching as usual, but one for 28 from his four overs was still economical. Put up a fight in the Super Over. Sportzpics for BCCI
Sandeep Sharma – 7. It was all going so well until Karthik deposited his penultimate ball for a six. Still, just 27 from his four overs was steady enough. Sportzpics for BCCI
Thangarasu Natarajan – 6. Dismissed the potential game-changers Tripathi and Russell, and his figures would have looked so much better if his last ball hadn’t gone for six. Sportzpics for BCCI
Basil Thampi – 5. Thampi has struggled to arrest a rising economy rate in IPL cricket. He went for 46 here, but at least got Morgan’s wicket off the last ball of the innings. Sportzpics for BCCI
KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS RATINGS: Rahul Tripathi – 6. He was bowled the ball after getting lengthy treatment for a blow on his right forearm from Natarajan, having made 23 from 16. Sportzpics for BCCI
Shubman Gill – 5. The elegant opener has been getting plenty of good reviews, but his strike-rate needs work. His 37-ball 36 was soporific. Sportzpics for BCCI
Nitish Rana – 6. Took responsibility for upping the rate with Gill going slowly at the other end, but fell to a diving boundary catch by Garg. Sportzpics for BCCI
Andre Russell – 4. Looked disconsolate after another meagre return with the bat, and broken in the field after a hamstring niggle. Tough ask bowling the last over, all things considered. Sportzpics for BCCI
Eoin Morgan – 7. He was set for his fourth red-inker of the tournament, only to hole out on the last ball of the innings having made 34 off 23 balls. Sportzpics for BCCI
Dinesh Karthik – 8. Gives the impression of a different player entirely now the weight of the captaincy is gone. A sparkling late-overs cameo brought him 29 from 14 balls. Sportzpics for BCCI
Pat Cummins – 6. A return of three wickets in nine matches might not quite be worth the outlay, but the $2m man was tight enough. Sportzpics for BCCI
Shivam Mavi – 6. Had his work cut out bowling with the pressure high. Went for 34 from three, but was up for the fight. Sportzpics for BCCI
Kuldeep Yadav – 7. Benefited from bowling in tandem with the pumped up Ferguson as he made a neat and tidy return with just 18 coming from his three overs. Sportzpics for BCCI
Lockie Ferguson – 10. Where has he been all tournament? Got his Kiwi captain Williamson with his first ball, and was irresistible thereafter. Three for 15 in normal time. Two for two in the Super Over. Sportzpics for BCCI
