Gautam Gambhir and Yusuf Pathan were dismissed in quick succession, as the former IPL champions KKR stuttered in their chase of 163 against Sunrisers Hyderabad SRH. While Gambhir was dismissed for run-a-ball 28, Pathan could manage only 2 off the 6 balls he faced. The wicket of Pathan was a big blow in particular, as he has been in terrific form. Barinder Sran provided SRH the first breakthrough in their IPL 2016 Eliminator against Kolkata Knight Riders KKR, when he removed the dangerous Robin Uthappa in the second over. Uthappa faced 7 balls and struck 1 boundary to score 11. Colin Munro was run out by Yuvraj Singh for 16.
