1.1 OUT! TAKEN! Sharp catch by the debutant, Ashwani Kumar! Both KKR openers back in the hut inside the first two overs. Deepak serves it full from over the wicket, slanting it across the left-hander, Quinton de Kock takes a step down the track and picks the bones out of it. Tries to clear mid off but fails to get the elevation. Kumar times his jump to perfection and takes a reverse cup catch over his head. 2/2

0.4 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! A two-ball duck for Sunil Narine! Boult lands it nice and full, attacking the stumps, Narine stays deep in his crease and tries to jam it out. The ball moves away in the air late and beats Sunil on the outside edge. It sneaks past the bat to shatter the stumps. An ideal start for the home side as yet again, Trent Boult strikes in the very first over. 1/1

| Ajinkya Rahane C | 11 | 7 | 1 | 1 | 157.14 |
|
3.1 OUT! CAUGHT! What a start for Ashwani Kumar on his IPL debut! Strikes with his first ball and it is the prized scalp of Ajinkya Rahane. Angling across from over the wicket, on a length, Rahane gets the width he needs and throws his hands at the delivery. Wants to go cover but ends up slicing it towards deep point. Hits it straight down the throat of Tilak Varma there. The ball pops out of the grasp of Verma and lobs behind him. He recovers well and takes it with his right hand on the second attempt. Ajinkya Rahane departs for 11 (7) and KKR are pegged back to 25/3. 25/3

7 OUT! IN THE AIR AND TAKEN! With that, half of the KKR side is into the dugout now. Captain Hardik Pandya also joins the wicket-taking bandwagon now! Hardik bends his back and bowls an effort ball, digs it into the surface, on the bodyline of the right-hander. Angkrish Raghuvanshi stands tall and looks to clear the deep mid-wicket region. Goes through the pull shot, but mistimes it. The ball sails only as far as deep mid-wicket where Naman Dhir runs across to his left and takes a fine grab. Angkrish Raghuvanshi was looking solid in his approach but has to depart now. He goes for 26 (16) and KKR are 45/5. 45/5

| Venkatesh Iyer | 3 | 9 | 0 | 0 | 33.33 |

5.4 OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Number four in Powerplay and the Mumbai Indians are all over the KKR batting unit now. Deepak bowls it on a shortish length, keeping the line of attack around the off stump. The ball lands and climbs on the batter due to that excessive bounce and that's what does Iyer in. He tries to sway away from the line and ramp it but edges it behind to the keeper, and Ryan Rickelton does the rest. Kolkata Knight Riders are 41/4 and are in serious trouble now as Venkatesh Iyer departs on 3 (9). 41/4

10.3 OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! Ashwani Kumar strikes on his return to the attack! Bangs it into the wicket, around off, Rinku Singh gives the bowler the charge and tries to go big on the off side. Plays it with a horizontal bat but fails to get the power to clear the fence. Hits it towards deep point where Naman Dhir runs around to his right and completes the catch. 74/6

11 OUT! CASTLED! The change of length does the trick for Ashwani Kumar! Two in the over for the debutant and KKR slide further into trouble. This skids through, on a good length, on middle and leg, and Pandey is caught in the crease, expecting another short ball. Plays down the wrong line as the ball sneaks past the inside edge. The ball brushes the back pad on the way to hit the top of the leg stump. The Impact Player Manish Pandey departs on 19 (14) and KKR just keep losing wickets one after the other. 80/7

| Andre Russell | 5 | 11 | 1 | 0 | 45.45 |

12.4 OUT! CLEANED HIM UP! The debut keeps getting better and better for Ashwani Kumar! Just as he did to get rid of Pandey, Kumar changes his length and goes full, at the stumps, Andre Russell waits back and clears his front leg. Swings to go down the ground but gets beaten on the inside edge and hears the death rattle. Fourth wicket for the debutant. Kolkata Knight Riders are now 88/8. 88/8

| Ramandeep Singh | 22 | 12 | 1 | 2 | 183.33 |

16.2 OUT! TAKEN! The Kiwi responds in style and KKR have been bowled out on a paltry 116! He bowls it very slow, and keeps the ball away from the batter's reach, outside off. Ramandeep Singh stays leg side of the ball and looks to loft it over covers. But, he is through his shot very early. Hence, a thick outside edge is found and the ball lobs off towards the short third fielder. Skipper Hardik Pandya takes a dolly! 116/10

14.3 OUT! TAKEN! Vignesh Puthur gets in on the act now and this is a brilliant catch by Naman Dhir! Puthur offers flight, full and on middle from over the wicket, Rana is lured into the big shot. He gets down on a knee and goes for the slog sweep. Hits it flat and low towards deep mid-wicket. Dhir comes charging in off the ropes and dives ahead to grab it inches off the turf. Kolkata Knight Riders are 99/9. 99/9

5.2 OUT! CAUGHT! Andre Russell strikes with his second legal ball! Banged in short, near the tramline on off, it pitches and deviates further away from the right-hander. Rohit stays deep in the crease and reaches out. Tries to drag it with a flat bat to go down the ground. Gets it right off the toe end of the bat and it goes only as far as mid off where Harshit Rana runs over his right shoulder and takes an easy catch. Rohit misses out for the third game in a row. Mumbai Indians are now 46/1, needing 71 more runs. 46/1

10.4 OUT! GONE! CAUGHT! Ajinkya Rahane has made this catch look so easy! On the back of a length, just around the off stump line, it is the slower one, with a bit of an extra bounce on it. Will Jacks gets on the front foot and tries to place through the off side, but ends up chipping it in the air, towards short cover where Ajinkya Rahane puts in a low dive to his right and takes a fine catch. 91/2
