Kolkata Knight Riders' bowlers rose to the occasion and defended a modest total en route to a 24-run win over Kolkata Knight Riders in an Indian Premier League match on Friday. Incidentally, it was KKR's first win over MI in Mumbai after 12 years. Opting to bowl, Jasprit Bumrah (3/18) was at his best as MI bowled out KKR for a modest 169. Sri Lankan medium pacer Nuwan Thushara (3/42) blew the top-order while Bumrah was menacing at the back end with skipper Hardik Pandya (2/44) also getting a couple of wickets.
Ruturaj Gaikwad continues to hold the Orange Cap with 509 runs from 10 games, while Jasprit Bumrah reclaimed the Purple Cap with 17 wickets from 11 games.
Suryakumar Yadav (56 off 35) and Tim David (24 off 20) were the notable contributors for MI in their failed chase.
Mitchell Starc was the best bowler for KKR with figures of 4 for 33, while Varun Chakravarthy (2/22), Sunil Narine (2/22) and Andre Russell (2/30) picked up two wickets apiece.
