IPL 2022, MI vs KKR Highlights: Kolkata defeat Mumbai by 52 runs

75 runs LSG vs KKR
67 runs RCB vs SRH
91 runs CSK vs DC
52 runs KKR vs MI

What is happening here?? A ball goes up and the keeper drops the catch while the batters try to sneak in a run and Pollard is run out. Absolute drama in the middle. MI 113/9 after 17.1 overs. Is that another run out?? What is happening here? What a throw by Rinku. KKR win by 52 runs.

Cummins back to bowl the 17th over. Is that a run out now?? No no no. Everything going wrong for Mumbai. The batter is safe though. Next ball, it's a run out. There was no 2 there but they still ran for it. Suicidal. MI 112/8 after 17 overs

Pat Cummins strikes thrice in an over. A shorter one on middle, Ishan Kishan tries to pull it but gets a top edge on the first ball of the over. Daniel Sams falls couple of balls later as he is caught behind. Murugan Ashwin is gone on the last ball off the over. MI: 102/7 after 15 overs

After hammering Russell for three consecutive fours, Tim David couldn't build on his start. Varun Chakravarthy strikes with a fuller one on middle. MI: 83/4 in 12.2 overs 

Ramandeep Singh tries to flick it over mid-wicket but gets a leading edge. An easy catch for Nitish Rana who takes an easy catch on short third man. Pressure on Mumbai now as they lose their third wicket. MI: 69/3 after 10.3 overs

The first phase of the chase has been filled with some very important events and none bigger than the dismissal of Rohit Sharma. Apart from that Ishan Kishan has managed to get himself in and now needs to convert it into a big one. With no Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma also back in the hut, Kolkata will hope to pick up a couple of more wickets at the earliest and then they will certainly have the upper hand. 108 needed off 66 balls and an important middle phase awaits.

Ishan Kishan get a FOUR off Varun Chakaravarthy ! Welcome boundary! Tossed up again, outside off. Kishan makes room as he smashes this one through covers for a boundary. MI: 46/2 after 7 overs 

Russell strikes and Mumbai are two down now. Russell hits the hard length, and serves it around off. Tilak Varma tries to dab it away to third man but there was no room to play the shot and he ends up getting a thick outside edge. MI: 32/2 after 5 overs 

Southee switches to 'round the wicket and pushes this one wide. It is short as well and Kishan has a slash at it. The ball flies off the outside edge, over short third man for a boundary. MI 16/1 after 3 overs

Cummins in to bowl the 2nd and that's 4 leg byes. Unlucky. Four more to finish his over. Mumbai Indians steady themselves after losing the early wicket. MI 11/1 after 2 overs.

Rohit and Ishan Kishan are at the crease. Rohit is on strike. Southee will open the attack. Just 2 runs off the first four deliveries. Is that an out?? Original decision is not out. KKR have reviewed. Looks as if that has got a nick and then hit the pads. That's gone. Rohit departs for 2. MI 2/1 after 1 over

Bumrah bowls the 20th over and starts with 5 dot balls. Just 1 run from this over. Bumrah bowled his last two overs giving away just one run and picked up three wickets during that time as well. KKR finish at 165/9 after 20 overs.

Jasprit Bumrah tonight:

4,0,1,0,0,0,0,W,2,1,W,1,W,0,W,W,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1 - 5/10. What a spell, take a bow Boom. #MIvKKR #TATAIPL #Jaspritbumrah #MI #IPL2022 #BoomBoom #Bumrah pic.twitter.com/G4Id5GoGtI

Sams will bowl the 19th over. The wheels have fallen off this KKR innings after that fiery spell from Bumrah. Rinku hits a huge six now. He is waging a lone battle here. That's another wicket down. Southee departs. KKR 164/9 after 19 overs.

ANOTHER GONE!!! That's 2 in 2 and Bumrah's fifth. What a spell by the man. He is on a hat-trick now as he sends Narine back. Kolkata crumbling. KKR 156/8 after 17.4 overs.

Wicket number 4 for Bumrah!!! Cummins tries to hit a huge shot and holes out to Tilak Varma. What a spell by Bumrah. KKR 156/7 after 17.3 overs.

Time for the 18th over and bumrah in to bowl this one. Jackson tries to take on Bumrah and comes unstuck. Great catch by Sams to dismiss him. KKR 156/6 after 17.1 overs.

Riley to bowl the 17th and Rinku just helps the ball for a four to fine leg. Cheeky little shot. Two runs to follow that. Pull shot by Rinku off the last ball for another four. KKR 156/5 after 17 overs

Murugan Ashwin to bowl the first of the slog overs. Starts with 2 dots and a single in the first 3 deliveries. Just 3 to finish this over. Great over. KKR 143/5 after 16 overs.

Is that another gone? Bumrah thinks so. The onfield umpire does not seem interested. Mumbai review for a caught behind. Yes. That has hit the glove and the decision is out. A well-set Rana departs. KKR 139/5 after 14.5 overs

Bumrah goes short & reaps the reward, Rana is caught behind as ultra edge shows a clear spike!

KKR: 139/5 (14.5)

Bumrah in to bowl the 15th over and that's a briiliant yorker to start. Next ball is hit straight up!!! Did not get the required distance and Pollard takes a simple catch near the boundary. Russell is gone too. KKR 136/4 after 14.2 overs

Nitish Rana ??

Russell in the middle and he starts with a huge six and Tim David could not get to it. Nitish Rana follows that up with a four as it evades Bumrah. KKR 136/3 after 14 overs

OUT!!! Murugan Ashwin's off turner bamboozles the KKR skipper as Shreyas gets a nick and is caught behind by Ishan Kishan. KKR 124/3 after 13.1 overs

M Ashwin gets the better of #KKR Skipper as he departs after scoring just 6 runs.

Kumar Kartikeya cleans up Rahane. Uncharacteristic shot by the opener and he pays for his wicket. Kolkata, meanwhile, are holding steady with Nitish Rana and Shreyas Iyer in the middle. Both the batters are dealing in boundaries at the moment. KKR 123/2 after 13 overs

Kartikeya's classy run continues! ???

Venkatesh Iyer goes a bit too hard at this one and ends up giving his wicket away. This one turned away from the left-hander and Iyer stayed deep and looks to launch it down the ground but ends up slicing it hiogh and towards cover-point. Daniel Sams settles under it. Kumar Kartikeya gets his man. KKR: 64/1 after 6 overs

First a FOUR! Shot of confidence! Overpitched from Meredith and in the slot. Iyer makes room and comes down the track to go inside-out over covers for a boundary. Then a SIX! Cheeky! as Iyer shuffles and laps it over fine leg for a maximum. In this edition of the IPL, this is the first time Venkatesh Iyer has scored 20 runs in his first 20 balls. Also, the strike rate of 157.9 in this innings is the second highest. He has scored 18 off 8 balls at a strike rate of 225 against DC. KKR: 48/0 after 5 overs

Jasprit Bumrah is into the attack now. And a FOUR! Welcomes Bumrah with a boundary. Not a good start by Bumrah as he gives width straightaway and Rahane strokes it to the left of point for a boundary. The rest of the over is a quite one.  KKR: 31/0 after 4 overs

FOUR! Through the gap! Too full this, around off. Venkatesh smashes it through the jammed cover region for a boundary. 12 runs from the over. KKR: 16/0 after 2 overs

Venkatesh Iyer smashes Murugan Ashwin for a SIX! The fielder there watches it sail over! This is short and around leg. Iyer clears his front leg and pulls it flat and over mid-wicket for a biggie.

We are ready for play! The umpires are out in the middle and so are the players of Mumbai as they spread out on the field. Kolkata have gone back to the opening combination of Ajinkya Rahane and Venkatesh Iyer for this game. Let's Play

Jasprit Bumrah has scalped five wickets via yorkers in the IPL since 2020, the joint highest by any Indian bowler (alongside T Natarajan) using such a delivery length during this period. Unplayable.

KKR make FIVE changes to their lineup, including the return of Ajinkya Rahane. MI bring in Ramandeep Singh for injured Suryakumar Yadav

Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer(c), Nitish Rana, Rinku Singh, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Sheldon Jackson(w), Pat Cummins, Tim Southee, Varun Chakaravarthy

Ishan Kishan(w), Rohit Sharma(c), Tilak Varma, Ramandeep Singh, Kieron Pollard, Tim David, Daniel Sams, Murugan Ashwin, Kumar Kartikeya, Jasprit Bumrah, Riley Meredith

Mumbai Indians have won the toss and have opted to field.

#MumbaiIndians have won the toss and they will bowl first against #KKR.

Mumbai Indians batter Suryakumar Yadav has been ruled out of the IPL 2022 owing to a left forearm muscle injury. Yadav sustained the injury during the team’s fixture against Gujarat Titans on 6th May, 2022. Suryakumar played 8 matches this season for the Mumbai Indians scoring 303 runs at an average of 43.29 including 3 half-centuries.

Graeme Smith brings us the pitch report from the centre: "It's a patchy surface with decent amount of grass, but underneath it's very dry red soil. There's a bit of wear and tear on the wicket and a lot of dryness. The DY Patil has been economical for the slower bowlers, but the spinners need to bowl wicket to wicket. Bowlers offering width will be smashed. It will be slowly upfront, but it will get better as the game progresses"

Yuzvendra Chahal is the leading wicket-taker of the 2022 season, followed by Wanindu Hasaranga, Kagiso Rabada, Kuldeep Yadav and T Natarajan.

This season, Rajasthan Royals’ Jos Buttler is at the top of the 2022 IPL’s run-scoring charts with 618 runs so far. He is followed by KL Rahul (451), Shikhar Dhawan (369), Faf Du Plessis (389)  and David Warner (356). (READ MORE)

David Miller had exploded against Gujarat Titans in Mumbai's last match. Mumbai would look at him and Tilak Varma to anchor the middle order if calamity strikes.

"Yes, this year we can't make the playoffs, but we can build on a lot of things for the coming season. Every game regardless of whether it's an important game, a final, or the first round of the tournament, for us as players, they are just as important. It's important not to have more value on one over another. Because it makes you prepare the same, you have the same routines. The motivation for the guys is that we want to win the rest of our games. That's basically what's motivating us."

"We struggled in the PowerPlay which has been a frustration for us throughout the season. We've been good throughout the middle phase and not too bad at the death, but in the PowerPlay, we've been a little unstuck and we've to find a method to not lose many wickets and also throw a few punches and get a few boundaries. At the moment we're stuck in between and it's not really working and our opponents are taking advantage of that."

On April 2, Rinku’s 42 (23 balls, 6×4, 2×6) went a long way in KKR registering an important win over Rajasthan Royals. Chasing 153, KKR reached the target in 19.1. Rinku remained unbeaten and giving him company was Nitish Rana 48 (37 balls, 3×4, 2×6). (READ MORE)

For today’s match between Mumbai and Kolkata, humidity levels are expected to be around 69 per cent, while the temperatures will hover around 33 degrees celsius.

After being completely blow away by Lucknow Super Giants in their last match, Kolkata Knight Riders will hope to keep their playoffs hopes alive against an out of sorts Mumbai Indians. Will tey succeed?

Except in the opening game, KKR openers havent survived the powerplay. In fact, they are the only team to not have a half-century stand for the opening wicket this season.

With 328 runs, Tilak Varma is Mumbai Indian's leading run-getter of the season so far. Among uncapped players, only Abhishek Sharma has scored more runs this season than him.

In a season where things turned from bad to worse, death bowling is one area where KKR seamers have improved marginally, bringing their average down from 19.8 to 7.7 and the economy rate from 13.94 to 10.56 in the last five games compared to the first six.

Umesh Yadav was out of Kolkata's previous game against Lucknow due to a niggle. It's unsure if he will be fit for the game against Mumbai Indians.

Matches - 10
Wickets - 15
Average - 19
Economy - 7.15

 Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) are currently topping the points table, followed by Gujarat Titans (GT), Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). Delhi Capitals (DC) are fifth followed by Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) at sixth place in the IPL 2022 points table. They are followed by Punjab Kings (PBKS) at 7th, Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at 8th, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at 9th and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the last spot in the points tally. (READ MORE)

Even as Rohit Sharma has traditionally enjoyed great success against KKR, Sunil Narine has had his number, dismissing him nine times in 170 balls, conceding runs at a rate of 107.65, Tim Southee has also been fairly successful against the MI skipper.

Even as Andre Russell is having one his better seasons in recent years of IPL, he has rarely had the edge over Jasprit Bumrah in the death overs battle. Bumrah has dismissed the hard-hitting West Indian thrice in 49 balls, conceding runs at a rate of only 134.69.

Being an evening game, dew will play a pivotal factor. The Pitch at the venue has shown that chasing a target of around 180 can be difficult.

On Saturday, Mumbai Indians became the first team in this year’s IPL to be knocked out of the playoffs race, after Rajasthan Royals beat Punjab Kings by six wickets. MI are at the foot of the table with just two wins from 10 games and the maximum they can get to is 12 points. (READ MORE)

While Mumbai Indians are out of the race for a play-off spot, the five-time champions have managed to find some late momentum winning their last two games, one of them at the DY Patil stadium in Navi Mumbai, the venue for Monday’s game.

There have been individual brilliances for the Knight Riders to find inspiration from, not least the consistency in form of Andre Russell and Sunil Narine, with the point-of-difference being their fielding as a collective unit.

It's been quite a one-sided contest between the two traditional rivals. Mumbai Indians 22-8 Kolkata Knight Riders. But the last time these two sides met, Kolkata Knight Riders consolidated the top-of-the-table spot on the back of the joint-fastest 14-ball half-century from Pat Cummins, beating the Mumbai Indians by 5 wickets.

Where there is Pat, there is havoc!

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of the IPL match between Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders. Kolkata Knight Riders resemble a sinking ship ahead of a rather inconsequential IPL-15 match against bottom-placed Mumbai Indians who, even if already out of reckoning, will have their tails up. Panned for trying out too many combinations at the top, a part of their constant chopping and changing strategy this season which backfired on them pretty badly, KKR are coming off a 75-run drubbing at the hands of table toppers Lucknow Super Giants.
