Bangalore, June 1 (IBNS): Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Gautam Gambhir on Sunday said his side always believed to chase down the 199 runs target which was set by Kings XI Punjab in the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL).

Gambhir's KKR defeated Kings XI Punjab by three wickets to lift the trophy.

" We always had the belief we could chase 199," Gambhir said.

Praising Manish Pandey's knock of 50-ball 94, Gambhir said: "Manish played a fantastic innings, Yusuf chipped in, and Chawla hit that important six. Wriddhiman played an unbelievable innings. Manish was indeed fearless."

Kings XI Punjab skipper George Bailey congratulated KKR for winning the trophy.

KKR lifted the second IPL title under Gambhir's leadership.
