KKR openers Venkatesh Iyer and Ajinkya Rahane added 60 runs in just 5.4 overs after they were put into bat but their team failed to capitalise on that promising start
Lead Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah picked up his maiden five-wicket haul in IPL to restrict Kolkata Knight Riders to 165/9 despite fine knocks from Venkatesh Iyer and Nitish Rana here on Monday.
KKR openers Venkatesh Iyer (43 off 24 balls) and Ajinkya Rahane (25 off 24 balls) added 60 runs in just 5.4 overs after they were put into bat but their team failed to capitalise on that promising start.
Nitish Rana blazed his way to a 26-ball 43, with three boundaries and four sixes, but it was Bumrah (5/10), who took five wickets in two overs, to put the brakes on KKR, who suffered a middle-order collapse.
In the 15th over, Bumrah removed Andre Russell (9) and Rana and then clinched three wickets -- Sheldon Jackson (5), Pat Cummins (0) and Sunil Narine (0), in the 18th over, a maiden, to bring MI back into the game.
Venkatesh Iyer smashed three boundaries and four sixes, but perished in the sixth over, giving a sitter to Daniel Sams at point, with spinner Kumar Kartikeya Singh (2/32) getting his first wicket.
Venkatesh was brutal on spinner Murugan Ashwin (1/35), hitting him for his first maximum, a pull shot and then hammered a boundary.
