As KKR enters into the playoffs with two away games, they will try their best to win it and move forward.
Venkatesh Iyer’s 42 off 21 balls was the highest score made by any of other batsman among KKR’s total of 157/7 in a match that was curtailed to a 16-over affair after having batted first.
The previous score line for Mumbai read as Varun Chakraborty took a wicket that affected the bench. Rohit Sharma (19) and captain Hardik Pandya were dismissed for low scores(2).
Five-time champions Mumbai, who have already exited the playoffs, finished up at139/8.
After this match, which he won all alone, Sidhu also shared two videos on his official broadcaster which featured him. This is what he said about Gautam Gambhir as well as his colleagues in these videos including former Indian cricketer turned commentator Najot Singh Sidhu.
“I keep on thinking that whenever there is pressure I should go and tell these kids this or that and more than Gautam Gambhir do things like running around.” “This is exactly how things should be like. Everything goes well when everything is normal.”
In another video message, Sidhu added; “KKR is even considered as one of those few teams where just one bowler has taken ten ten-wicket hauls while it’s sixth team has taken only nine; can you please let me know which team With such a score-card? Let me play this cynic who knows the price of everything but nothing but is always prepared to play anytime, anywhere.”
This was the first time KKR defeated MI at both Wankhede and Eden Gardens in this IPL season.
