Riding on pacers' incredible performance, Kolkata Knight Riders have pushed Sunrisers Hyderabad down on the mat in the final of the ongoing Indian Premier League season. 

After Mitchell Starc derailed the Orange Army with a sensational new ball spell, Andre Russell got the prized wicket of Aiden Markram, who was looking sublime in the middle. 

The incident occurred during the eleventh over of SRH's innings when Markram was steadying the ship alongside Heinrich Klaasen. 

Bringing Russell into the attack proved to be a masterstroke from Shreyas Iyer, with the ace West Indies all-rounder getting rid of the South African T20I captain. 

After conceding a single on his first delivery, Russell banged it short outside the off stump. Markram went for an aggressive pull shot in a bid to collect a boundary and break the shackles. 

However, his effort went in vain as he hit it straight to Mitchell Starc, who took a simple catch near the long on fence. 

After getting Markram's wicket, Russell was absolutely pumped up, while Pat Cummins was stunned in the SRH dugout. KKR mentor Gautam Gambhir felt relaxed as he smiled along with Chandrakant Pandit. 

Meanwhile, SRH have lost six wickets, reeling at 77 for six in 12.3 overs.
