#4 Suffering a fatal collapse
More often than not, losing wickets in a heap during the early phase of the innings results in irreversible damage for even the most versatile of batting lineups. Upon losing the toss, Kolkata got off to one such treacherous start.
The dangerous Chris Lynn fell in the second over of the game to the wiles of Jasprit Bumrah. The in-form fast bowler also accounted for the consistent Robin Uthappa to spell doom for the Knight Riders. When skipper Gambhir was undone by Karn, their already dire situation was aggravated to a significant extent.
On the other hand, Mumbai had stuck to their plans and put on a rousing bowling performance.
