How KKR defied logics and reached IPL 7 final

New Delhi: Kolkata Knight Riders stormed into the final of IPL 7 after an emphatic win over the table toppers Kings XI Punjab by 28 runs in the first qualifier. This is the second time



Kolkata played their last league game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. It was a condition for KKR that they should chase the target in 15.2 overs to set their second position in the points table. Sunrisers set the target of 161 runs. KKR then got the start they wanted but after few strikes they were on backfoot. Yusuf Pathan then played a brilliant innings of 72 runs off 22 balls that took KKR home in just 14.2 overs. He scored his half century in just 15 balls, the fastest ever in IPL history. This was the 7th win in a row for Kolkata.
