8.3 overs: Irfan Pathan to Kallis, out Caught by Rohrer!! Each catch gets better than the previous one. Another screamer at point. Irfan Pathan had slanted this way outside off, Kallis reaches out to try and go over point. He did quite well though, or so he would've thought until Rohrer came in the way Kallis c Rohrer b Irfan Pathan 12(15) [4s-2].
7.4 overs: Shahbaz Nadeem to Eoin Morgan, out Caught by Umesh Yadav!! Another excellent catch in the deep. Shahbaz Nadeem bowled this with the seam up and it went on straight from round the wicket.

6.4 overs: Irfan Pathan to Eoin Morgan, FOUR, Morgan picks the big gap through mid wicket with absolute ease. He had to move well outside off to play that shot and flicks it superbly in the air, in the gap.
5.5 overs: Morne Morkel to Yusuf Pathan, out Caught by Irfan Pathan!! Irfan has taken a splendid catch to dismiss his brother Yusuf Pathan c Irfan Pathan b Morne Morkel 20(16) [4s-2 6s-1].
5.4 overs: Morne Morkel to Yusuf Pathan, SIX, Yusuf is in the mood to go big. He was lining up for the big hit from the start. Morne Morkel errs by going a little too full and that was right in the slot. Yusuf launches it over the long on fence.
2.2 overs: Umesh Yadav to Bisla, out Bowled!! Umesh Yadav was finding his rhythm and this has got to boost his confidence a lot more. It moves away again after pitching, Bisla made room to force it through cover but misses. The off stump is pegged back and Umesh roars in delight. Bisla b Umesh Yadav 4(7) [4s-1].
1.3 overs: Nehra to Yusuf Pathan, FOUR, Yusuf is laying into Nehra here. This was a length delivery and it was smashed back at the rate of knots. It hits Nehra's boots and deflects off to beat the man at mid on too.
1.2 overs: Nehra to Yusuf Pathan, FOUR, on the middle and leg now, Yusuf glances it off his thigh and down to the fine leg fence. Poor line that from Nehra. Easy pickings for Yusuf.
0.2 overs: Irfan Pathan to Bisla, out Gambhir Run Out!! Very poor running between the two. Bisla was hit on the thigh and it did not even go off the pitch. Gambhir starts a little late but goes through as he sees Bisla come down. Irfan Pathan runs down with the momentum, picks up the ball and under-arms it onto the stumps. Excellent start for Delhi. Gambhir run out (Irfan Pathan) 0(0).
Brett Lee replaces Brendon McCullum, while Shami Ahmed has been rested to accommodate Sumit Narwal. No changes in Daredevils' team.
Toss: KKR skipper Gautam Gambhir has won the toss and elected to bat first.
