The Pune bowlers put up a disciplined effort to limit KKR to 155 for eight before Tripathi fashioned his team’s win with a 52-ball blinder. The visiting team got home with four balls to spare with Tripathi missing out on a well deserved hundred.

He was brutal against Coulter-Nile and smashed the Aussie for 4-6-4-4, the last three of them in succession, to race to 18 in seven balls in the third over.
