Chasing a modest total of 153 runs, KKR looked all set to register their second win of the season in yesterday's IPL match against MI. After laying a solid foundation in the first ten overs, KKR found a way to draw themselves into trouble due to some reckless batting through the middle overs.

Once Nitish Rana got out, none of the KKR batters could find a way to score runs which were coupled with some canny bowling display by the experienced Mumbai attack. Leg-spinner Rahul Chahar wreaked havoc in the KKR batting order and accounted for four crucial wickets. In the death, it was normal service for Jasprit Bumrah who didn't allow the Knights to get anything out of his bowling as MI clinched their first win of the 2021 IPL season by 10 runs.
