"Only two players (actually three - Rohit, Kiren Pollard, and Jaspreet Bumrah) of the team that lost five matches here in 2014 are in the current team. We focused on implementing our strategy today. The wicket was good and the dew was falling. I am very happy with the performance of the team.
What did the captain of KKR say after the defeat?
