- Varun Chakravarthy opened the bowling, claimed three wickets, was on a hattrick once, claimed a catch and deservedly won the player of the match award.
- He now becomes the second Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bowler to have claimed 10 wickets along with Andre Russel in this tournament.
- KKR’s win with 60 balls to spare is only the fifth in the list of IPL games where a team has won with most balls to spare. This record has been updated for the first time since 2018. This is also KKR’s massive win in terms of balls to spare.
- Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) has now had 6 games with totals below 100, this is also their third against KKR
- RCB has now lost their last 4 matches in Sheikh Zayed stadium in Abu Dhabi, all to different teams (Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad and now to Kolkata)
- Venkatesh Iyer on his debut scored an unbeaten 47 and becomes the second opener in back-to-back games in the IPL re-start to have opened the batting and remaining unbeaten till match completion. Ruturaj Yadsav achieved that for Chennai Super Kings earlier, albeit batting first instead of chasing.
- Sunil Narine though bowling economically did not take any wicket. He has now claimed wickets only in the three of the last 10 innings he has bowled.
- Shubman Gill (48) failed to make use of an opportunity to score a half century and now it has extended to 10 games now.
