KKR vs SRH Tweet Report: Pathan's knock even made Gambhir smile

A Yusuf Pathan blitzkrieg of 22-ball 72 powered Kolkata Knight Riders to the first qualifier of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as they humbled Sunrisers Hyderabad by four wickets at the Eden Gardens here Saturday. Needing to wrap up the game in 15.2 overs to finish second in the league stage over Chennai Super Kings after Sunrisers posted a challenging 160/7, Pathan hit the Challengers like a raging bull, taking away the game single-handedly. [caption id=“attachment_1541363” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] Pathan was outstanding. BCCI[/caption] He plundered seven massive sixes and five fours as the home side raced to a winning 161/6 in only 14.2 overs, and would now play the qualifier at the same ground May 27. The Mumbai Indians will need to beat Rajasthan Royals today by 42 runs or by 33 balls to spare to qualify to the play offs. https://twitter.com/mohanstatsman/status/470255520377364480 https://twitter.com/rgcricket/status/470272445853601793 https://twitter.com/The_IPL/status/470391406523990016 https://twitter.com/wasimakramlive/status/470419693321203712 https://twitter.com/AltCricket/status/470256544379310080 https://twitter.com/bhogleharsha/status/470256844087103489 https://twitter.com/siddmishra7/status/470260729736491008 https://twitter.com/cricinfo_record/status/470261817970008064
