After winning 162, thanks to the final on 23 runs from Cummins, KKR attacked home in just 16 overs, thanks to an undefeated 15-ball 56 from the Australian pacer.

Cummins all scored in Daniel Sams' 16th over bowling. He hit a total of four fours and six sixes. He raised his fifty to 14 balls, a record for the fastest half-century in the IPL.

Venkatesh Iyer opener played a major role with the invincibility of 41 balls 50.

But the undefeated 22 of Kieron Pollard's five balls earned the score respectably.

In response, KKR continued to lose goals at regular intervals, even though Iyer kept the tip. At 83/4, KKR struggled, but Cummins' blitzkrieg jumped to the top of the table with three wins in four games.
