New acquisition Pat Cummins had a forgettable day with the ball. Sunil Narine (1/22) was the most economical bowler. After losing their openers early, KKR’s ship was steadied by a partnership between Dinesh Karthik (30) and Nitish Rana (24). MI’s pacers put their batsmen to the sword, with Jasprit Bumrah (2/31) being the pick of the bowlers, who snuffed out KKR’s remaining hopes by picking up the wickets of Andre Russell and Eoin Morgan in the same over.
