Before this season, the bats of the players were checked on the eve of the match. But there was a way out of this process, because some players could play the match with a second bat.

When Andre Russell came to bat in the 11th over for KKR chasing the target, umpire Sai Darshan Kumar did a gauge test of his bat, in which he failed. At the same time, the bat of Sunil Narayan, who played the role of opener, was tested before the start of KKR's innings.
