Needing 9 from 6 balls, Shakib Al Hasan and Manoj Tiwary took singles and Manoj Tiwary swung Bravo over short fine leg for four.Manoj Tiwary finished it with another pull through the same region, and then pumped his firsts in celebration of victory with 2 balls to spare(KKR scored 192 Runs in 19.4 Overs)
