Cracking Opening
Sunil Narine and Quinton de Kock set forth to bat, but they'd better have been on Guard, 'cause they both met their maker in the very first two overs courtesy of Trent Boult and Deepak Chahar. The Wankhede crowd knew they were in for a treat as KKR continued to fall like dominoes during the Powerplay.
The Annihilation
A newbie on the MI team, amongst the ruins Aswani Kumar shone like a beacon, scything through KKR's batting lineup, claiming an astounding four wickets in his debut game for the team, leaving KKR's hopes in ruins. With the opposition wiped out by the 17th over, they were all out for a paltry 116, the lowest score of IPL 2025.
Chasing Down the Shadow of Shadows
With a laughable score to chase, MI's opening batsmen Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickleton seemed entirely too comfortable out there, seemingly leisurely sipping their tea... that is, until Andre Russell made a ruckus, dismissing Rohit for a measly 13. To add insult to injury, not a Victorian cricketer in the KKR side managed to take any wickets or set the MI batsmen back on their heels.
The Ruthless Finish
With a swift smash from Suryakumar Yadav sealing the deal, MI took the game by the scruff of the neck, clinching victory in the 13th over by an emphatic 8 wickets.
