The home team won the toss and elected to bat first on a flat Kotla surface and were powered to a decent total of 160 runs in the first innings mainly due to a late blitz from JP Duminy. Chasing 161 runs to get back to winning ways, the skipper anchored the run chase along with Robin Uthappa to lay a foundation for this run chase. The duo put on a 100-run stand for the opening wicket to ensure that the Knights got over the line in a must-win game.

The southpaw scored a match winning 69 in his 56-ball stay to lead the home team to victory by eight wickets. Gambhir lost his wicket with just 10 runs required for victory but he had already caused a lot of damage. His aggressive knock comprised of five boundaries and two maximums to give the Knight Riders a much-needed win and get their campaign back on track.
