Choosing to bat first, SRH got off to a poor start as they collapsed to 39/4 in 5 overs. Rahul Tripathi (55) and Heinrich Klaasen (32) got them back on track before another mini-collapse, and some good hitting towards the end from Pat Cummins (30) helped them reach 159.

The tone was set early on for KKR by Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc, who struck off the second ball of the match, ripping fellow Aussie Travis Head's stumps out of the ground. Starc went on to take two more wickets in the Powerplay. 

This is not the first time that Starc has gotten the better of Head, though. After the wicket, an old video began to do the rounds on social media, showing Starc getting Head out with very similar deliveries.

Two of the previous incidents are from October 2015, when Starc's New South Wales took on Head's South Australia in the Matador BBQs One-Day Cup, Australia's domestic 50-over competition. He dismissed him in both the group stage match and the final, which NSW went on to win.

The other occasion was in October 2017, during the Sheffield Shield. Starc bowled a searing spell of 8/73 in the second innings, including the wicket of Head for a golden duck.
