Pune, May 14: Kolkata Knight Riders stayed afloat in the playoffs race as they notched up a big 54-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in Pune on Saturday.

It's tough to replicate match situation in the nets, but you try, and you back yourself in the field and use your experience. Overseas players have to sit on the sidelines, and you have to be ready when the chances come. My job is to go after it from ball one, sometimes I hit the first ball in the nets for a six. Hit to the fielders, then try to hit big and walk back. We were going over by over while batting, plan was to give Russell as much strike as possible and we were praying that he plays the last over because Washington had an over left. It was a fair total and Russell got those big runs in the end. With the bat we weren't able to get the momentum to set the platform or get those partnerships. We wanted a decent start and Abhishek is hitting the ball beautifully, there were glimpses and signs of setting a platform but it wasn't to be and that was frustrating. Sunrisers struggled to build partnerships as Russell led the bowling attack too with a scintillating three-wicket haul. We were positive and it was really important to win the toss - to bat first cause they also wanted to bat first. Tim Southee struck next to remove Rahul Tripathi and reduce SRH to 54/2 in 8.2 overs. Umran Malik's three quick wickets in the middle saw Knights being reduced to 83/4 in 10 overs.
