Kolkata Knight Riders mentor David Hussey said that Shubman Gill, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana and Rahul Tripathi adapted to the circumstances well, which played a key role in the two-time champions' massive 86-run win against Rajasthan Royals and helped the Eoin Mogan-led side nearly secure the fourth playoffs berth here.

Sharing his insights on the performance of the team in the crucial encounter on Thursday evening, Hussey said, "Well, firstly, it is never easy playing on these types of surfaces. I think Shubman Gill, Venkatesh Iyer, Nitish Rana and Rahul Tripathi showed their class once again and adapted their game accordingly. They knew if they take it deep in the batting innings, they're going to make a decent target. With the ball, pretty simple plans, bowl as fast as you can and hit the stumps. We have world-class spinners as well, and we back each other up in the field, and it was very much a team performance."
