IPL 2022 Points Table, Orange Cap and Purple Cap: Shreyas Iyer and Tilak Varma remain in the top 10 

The 56th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 took place between the Mumbai Indians (MI) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Monday, May 8. The Shreyas Iyer-led side secured a 52-run victory at the DY Patil Stadium in Mumbai.

After being put in to bat by Rohit Sharma, KKR put on a fifty-run opening stand for the first time this tournament. However, a stellar five-wicket haul by Jasprit Bumrah led to a rather poor outing in the final ten overs of the first innings.

With barely any contribution with the bat after the top three, KKR stumbled to 165-8 after 20 overs.

MI's chase started off on a poor note following Rohit Sharma's controversial dismissal. Ishan Kishan scored a gritty half-century but was short of partners. Kieron Pollard's finishing woes persisted as MI finished well below the target with a score of 113 and failed to register their third win in succession.
