Commentary

En हि

Hufffff, what a game. After several 250+ ones, we are finally seeing the side of IPL that once used to be the norm. It's a sweet, sweet win for KKR. Perhaps the biggest confidence boost they have had in years and they can all be very proud of it. As for MI, this was a new low. You can't lose against your favorite opponent at home when you have stopped them for less than 170 in the first innings. They are all but out of the Qualifiers race and have a thousand questions to answer about themselves. Thankfully, we are not in that dressing room. It's Rudransh and Pratyush signing off, hoping to see you in another match soon!

Venkatesh Iyer is the Player of the Match: As a professional cricketer, I have to be flexible. When I was hitting the ball well, two more wickets fell and I felt I needed to play the anchor role. It was the fourth or fifth time Manish had padded up and this time he got to bat! It worked for us with the Impact Player. Better to have Manish than Russell or Ramandeep Singh in a situation which they don't usually bat in. He was the one guiding me about match-ups. I try to be a smart cricketer. It was easier to hit against Chawla and pacers for me. The team needed me to stay till the end. I had a conversation with Dada -- I am a huge fan of him -- about my stance and it's slowly coming off now.

Shreyas Iyer: Absolutely, we are [knocking on the door]. Was just having a conversation with Starcy on about how important it was. I just got to know about (MI's record here) just after the match. We would have loved to cherish it but have a match to play in 2 days. Impact Player helped us in this game. Manish was eyeing an opportunity and he put up a phenomenal partnership with Venky. They (the spinners) were unbelievable. They executed our plans each and every ball. Venky is someone who can change the momentum of the game. He has been eagerly waiting to get out there and express himself and it was a phenomenal knock.

Venkatesh Iyer wins the awards for most sixes and fours!

Mitchell Starc wins the ultimate fantasy points award!

Suryakumar Yadav is the Super-Striker of the match.

Time for the presentation!

Varun Chakravarthy (Kolkata Knight Riders): We've not won here in 12 years, so it's a great feeling to win here. [Thoughts when SKY was batting] We were still confident, it was only a matter of one wicket. I thought 170 was a little below par but we kept our emotions and stuck to our plans. [Pitch] Not much help in the second innings, it was skidding on well. We stuck to our plans and that worked out. [Discussion with batters] They (batters) did tell us that the ball was stopping in the first innings but when we came in to bowl, the ball was skidding on. [Bowling with Narine] Sunny is a legend man. Just glad to be bowling alongside him. [Winning from 50-5] This is a very special win. We were down and out in the first innings but the way Venkatesh and Manish made the comeback on their shoulders was great. After a disappointing performance against Punjab, we wanted to come back stronger and win.

Hardik Pandya (Mumbai Indians captain): In the batting, we couldn't form any partnerships. If you keep losing wickets, it's going to cost you. [full tosses] Not much. Obviously, there will be a few questions but we'll take some time to answer them. For now, not much to say. The bowlers did a fantastic job in the first innings and the conditions did get better with the dew. We'll have the debrief later and see where things went wrong. You've got to keep fighting. The tough days come with their fair share of good days, you have to be there for them.

KKR WINNNNNNN! THOSE ARE THE TWO WORDS THEY HAVEN'T SEEN TOGETHER AT WANKHEDE IN 12 YEARS! 12 YEARS! JUST THE SECOND WIN HERE FOR THEM AND IT'S COME ON ONE LEG, WITHOUT HARSHIT RANA, DEFENDING AN UNDER-PAR SCORE, WITH DEW AS MUCH AS FLOOD! It is perhaps their best ever win against Mumbai Indians, it might as well be because there haven't been a lot of them. They get one step closer to that 'Q', MI fall deeper towards 'E'.

KKR win by 24 runs!

Venkatesh Iyer 70 (52) | Mitchell Starc (4/33)
Suryakumar Yadav 56 (35) | Jasprit Bumrah (3/18)

This is the kind of performance KKR fans would remember from the Gautam Gambhir days. It was that good. They had their backs against the wall when Russell got run-out like that in the first innings. It was pushed to the point of bruises when Ishan Kishan hit Mitchell Starc like that in the second over. But that 25-crore signing brought them back into the game by getting him out.

Shreyas Iyer immediately brought in Narine and Varun C in the powerplay and they chimed in with the wickets of Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir as the MI batters offered a ton of loose shots. SKY stood up like only he can as Shreyas felt the need to bring in Russell and Vaibhav in ungainly spots just to make up for Harshit and the sixth bowler's absence.

Russell held his own for a while as Narine and Varun ran further riot in the middle-overs. Hardik pushed himself all the way back to number seven but could score just one run as Russell prized him out. It was hard to tell that the West Indian hadn't bowled four overs too many times this season.

SKY fought back with support from Tim David, with the former taking big runs against Vaibhav to keep MI afloat. When SKY reached his 50, it seemed like MI's game to lose. But another Russell special (a full toss!) got KKR even. Mitchell Starc then reposed every penny spent on him with that special and historical three-wicket 19th over in front of his wife, Alyssa, and his pumped up fist pumps conveyed the rest!

18.5 Mitchell Starc to Gerald Coetzee, MITCHELL STARC WRAPS UP PROCEEDINGS WITH A BANG! That's a sight. Just look at what it means to him. Killer precision with the yorker to knock off the middle stump, giving the batter no chance. After 12 years, KKR have finally managed to game a win at the Wankhede Stadium, pretty much knocking out the hosts by doing so. KKR win by 24 runs!

Gerald Coetzee b Mitchell Starc 8 (7b, 0x4, 1x6)

18.4 Mitchell Starc to Jasprit Bumrah, trying to get revenge with a yorker of his own. Bumrah jams it out and picks up a single

Jasprit Bumrah, RHB, comes out

TWO IN TWO! STARC IS ON A HAT-TRICK! KKR ARE GETTING A JAIL-BREAK OUT OF NOWHERE. CHAWLA - ONCE A KKR LEGEND - CAN'T DO IT EITHER!

18.3 Mitchell Starc to Piyush Chawla, OUT! KKR getting the job done now. They say winning is a habit. Well, so is losing, and not having won games consistently, MI are throwing this game away here. Low full toss outside off, Chawla chips it straight to extra cover. That should be that.

Piyush Chawla, RHB, comes out

ANOTHER WICKET OFF A FULL TOSS! WHAT IS THIS GAME? Shreyas' celebration says it all! He's absolutely pumped up and might even get a fine for throwing the ball on the ground like that...

18.2 Mitchell Starc to Tim David, HOLES OUT TO LONG-OFF! David cannot believe it. The MI heads are dropping and that tells you everything you need to know. It was a full toss outside off, David hammers it straight into the lap of Shreyas standing inside the boundary. Heartbreaking for MI. This could be the end of their tournament right here.

Tim David c Shreyas Iyer b Mitchell Starc 24 (20b, 1x4, 1x6)

18.1 Mitchell Starc to Tim David, SIX! In the slot and it got the treatment it deserved. David shuffled across and give it hold heave to clear the square leg boundary

32 required off 12 now. KKR would be badly missing Harshit Rana here but they can't afford to think about that. Coetzee and Tim David look in good touch. They'll face Starc and Vaibhav -- not the best death bowlers you can have.
