Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma (Rohit Sharma) A won the toss and elected to field first. Thus, the Kolkata team came down to bat first. At the end of 20 overs, Kolkata scored 165 runs for the loss of 9 wickets. In reply, Mumbai chased down the run but lost the toss despite Ishan Kishan’s half-century strengthening the position. Ishaan was followed by a series of wickets which continued till all out.
The opening pair failed once again, as the Mumbai team did not play well in the season, the flop show of the opening pair continued. Rohit Sharma himself lost the wicket in the form of the first wicket. He was dismissed for 2 off 6 balls. Tilak Verma was then dismissed for the second wicket, he went on to score 6 runs. However, Ishaan Kish managed to keep Mumbai in the match by handling the situation. But once again the streak of falling wickets continued. Thus the crisis of defeat was looming over Mumbai.
Kolkata, who have already made a lot of changes this season, changed half the team in this match. KKR recalled 5 players after a long absence and almost all of them contributed significantly to the victory. It was started by Venkatesh Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane, who re-opened after several matches. Both gave a quick start of 60 off just 34 balls. Iyer was particularly aggressive and returned with 43 off just 24 balls (4 sixes, 3 fours). Rahane (25 runs, 24 balls) could not play fast and big innings, but helped to handle the innings.
KKR was destroyed by the speed of Jaspreet Bumrah
After this Nitish Rana (43 runs, 26 balls, 3 fours, 4 sixes) also batted fast and continued the start given by Venkatesh. However, he did not get full support from the other side. Rana took the team to 135 in 14 overs, but from here the situation changed. In the 15th over, Bumrah (4 overs, 5 wickets, 10 runs) changed the course of the match. In this over, Bumrah returned Andre Russell and Nitish Rana to the pavilion with their speed and bounce. After this, in the 18th over he picked up 3 wickets in the maiden over and gave only 1 run in the 20th over and KKR stopped at 165 for 9 wickets. In his last 2 overs, Bumrah gave only 1 run and took 3 wickets.
Kolkata’s fast bowlers showed danger
Bumrah’s performance gave Mumbai confidence, but perhaps Kolkata’s fast bowlers were also inspired by it and put Mumbai under pressure from the first over. Captain Rohit Sharma (2) was dismissed in the first over due to a controversial decision on the last ball of Tim Southee (1/10). Then Pat Cummins and Andre Russell also quickly harassed the Mumbai batsmen and the wickets kept falling. Tilak Verma (6) and Ramandeep Singh (12) did not last long and fell prey to Russell (2/22), while returning spinner Varun Chakraborty hit a big shot in the 13th over in the form of Tim David (13).
Cummins performed a miracle like Bumrah
For Mumbai, opener Ishaan Kishan was struggling as he completed his half-century off 40 balls. Then the same thing happened with Mumbai that happened with KKR. The match was reversed in the 15th over of the innings. Pat Cummins (3/22), returning to the team, picked up 3 wickets including Ishaan Kishan (51 runs, 43 balls, 5 fours, 1 six) in this over to take Mumbai to 102 for 7 for 4. In the end, all the blame fell on Kieran Pollard and it was difficult for him to reach this goal. Mumbai’s innings ended in a very dramatic manner. The team lost their remaining three wickets in just 4 balls and all three were run out on Bahrain fielding and the entire team was all out for just 113 runs in 17.3 overs.
