Final strategic break signaled!
R Jadeja to D Karthik, The batsman has flicked the ball off his pads. The batsmen have run through for a single.
R Jadeja to D Karthik, FOUR! Goes for the reverse and connects it well. This is flatter on off, Karthik goes down on one knee and plays the reverse sweep. He connects well and it goes down to the third man fence for a boundary.
R Jadeja to D Karthik, Goes down on one knee and sweeps it fine through backward square leg for a brace.
R Jadeja to S Gill, Flatter and on middle, this turns away a touch. Gill tries to defend but the ball takes the outside edge and goes towards point for a run.
R Jadeja to S Gill, FOUR! What a shot this is! Excellent placement and excellent timing. Jadeja once again floats it up on off, Gill with the turn, drives it through covers and the timing is such that it races away to the fence.
R Jadeja to S Gill, Maiden Indian T20 League fifty for Gill, excellent innings. Another bloke from the U-19 Indian team impresses us. Boy, what a time to get it. Dropped a catch of Dhoni earlier, got the promotion when his side was in a bit of stutter and he has played a blinder here. Knocks this fuller delivery down to long off and hares back for a double.
Ravindra Jadeja is back on.
KM Asif to D Karthik, SIX! Third in the over! 21 from it and only 37 more needed! Surely a game-changer! The skipper doesn't want to hold back either. Poor by Asif as he bangs it in short on the body of the batsman. DK swivels and pulls it over the fine leg fence for a biggie. Asif gave away just 11 from his first two and goes for 21 in his third.
KM Asif to S Gill, Now guides this one down to third man for a run. Sensible.
KM Asif to S Gill, SIX! Excellent attempt in the deep. This might be the over which will turn the game into Kolkata's favour. 14 from it already. On the shorter side outside off, Gill cuts it uppishly towards third man. Rayudu there runs to his right, leaps and stretches a hand out but fails to hang on and it goes over the fence.
KM Asif to S Gill, This is nicely played! Another ball outside off and on the shorter side. Gill guides it through point and runs two.
KM Asif to S Gill, Short and outside off this time, Gill cuts it to the man at point.
KM Asif to S Gill, SIX! Welcome back into the attack says, Shubman Gill. This is short and on middle, it sits up to be hit. Gill pulls it over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. Ideal start to the over, pressure on the bowler now.
KM Asif is back on.
K Sharma to S Gill, Shorter in length on middle, Gill whips it through mid-wicket for a run. 11 from Karn's first over.
K Sharma to D Karthik, Sweeps again but this time finds the man in the deep at square leg and only a single results.
K Sharma to D Karthik, FOUR! Dinesh backs away to spoil the bowler's length and Karn gives him a hit-me ball down the leg side. Karthik sweeps it fine through the leg side for a boundary. 9 from the over already.
K Sharma to D Karthik, Excellent running! Karthik works it towards mid-wicket with soft hands. They run the first one hard and go for the second and they complete it with ease.
