After Kolkata Knight Riders' 80-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad, skipper Ajinkya Rahane said that winning by a big margin was crucial.

"This game was really important for us. Winning by a big margin was crucial. Even we wanted to bowl on this wicket. When we lost two early wickets, we wanted to consolidate till 6 overs - play with intent but play cricketing shots. And then when we have wickets in hand, guys down the order can get as many runs as possible. Happy with the batting unit," said Rahane during the post-match presentation.
