Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians Match 2 Highlights
First Innings Highlights
Finn Allen and Ajinkya Rahane gave KKR a flying start, adding 69 in the powerplay. Rahane’s fifty came off just 27 balls, and he finished with 67 off 40, hitting five sixes.
Shardul Thakur was the standout bowler for MI. He removed Allen, Green, and Rahane inside four overs, breaking the back of the innings just when KKR looked set for 250-plus.
Angkrish Raghuvanshi survived a dropped catch on 21 and made MI pay. He and Rinku Singh put together 60 off 30 balls for the fourth wicket, dragging KKR from a mid-innings wobble back up to a competitive 220.
Second Innings Highlights
Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton chased hard from ball one. Rohit’s fifty came in 23 balls, his fastest in IPL history, and Rickelton wasn’t far behind, reaching his own fifty in 24.
The turning point never really arrived for KKR. Their bowling attack, missing several regular pacers, couldn’t find swing or seam movement on a flat Wankhede pitch, and the 148-run opening stand more or less settled the contest inside the powerplay and the overs that followed.
Once Rohit and Rickelton fell in quick succession, Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma kept the scoreboard ticking. Hardik Pandya finished the game unbeaten on 18, sealing it with 5 balls to spare.
