Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], May 5 : Following his side's five-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) skipper Nitish Rana said that he backed his spinners to win the match for the side and getting Heinrich Klaasen and SRH skipper Aiden Markram was the key to victory.Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) bowlers held their nerves to deliver skilful bowling spells in death overs to clinch a five-run win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in their Indian Premier League (IPL) match at Hyderabad on Thursday."In the middle overs, we bowled a few loose overs and took a gamble with Shardul and Vaibhav and they managed to get both set batters and that is how we made a comeback in this game. We had to get them (Markram and Klaasen) out because if they bat till the end, then surely the game would have gone out of our reach. I had a doubt if I had to go with spinner or pacer and backed my spinner to do the job. I always see who is the best spinner in the game and that's how I decide whom to back on a given day," said Rana in a post-match presentation.Coming to the match, KKR opted to bat first after opting to bat first.They could post 171/9 in their 20 overs.

However, KKR bowlers held their nerves in death overs to deny their opponents a win.Shardul Thakur (2/23) and Vaibhav Arora (2/32) impressed KKR with their bowling.
