Mumbai Indians beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 6 wickets

Mumbai Indians beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 6 wickets

Mumbai Indians break the hoodoo – For the first time after 2012, Mumbai have won their first game of an IPL season, and they have done so by pulling off their highest successful run chase in the league’s history.

Short and on middle, Tilak Varma stays back and clips it through mid-wicket for a run.

Drags his length back, on off, Hardik Pandya loses his bottom hand and drags it towards deep mid-wicket for another run. MI one big hit away from the win now.

Nothing wrong with the ball, just unlucky! Vaibhav Arora bowls a good yorker, following the batter down the leg side. Tilak Varma just about gets his bat in line with the ball to get some part of it, as the ball goes between his legs and past the keeper for a boundary. 9 needed in 12 balls.
