MI Vs KKR Player Of the Match Award: Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer won the POTM award for his stunning performance against Mumbai Indians at home.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Kolkata Knight Riders Win By 24 Runs!

Kolkata Knight Riders script history, breach Wankhede after 12 years. The emotions, the feelings it's all coming in for real! 

Mumbai Indians looked in good control during the first innings, their bowlers did a stunning job when it came to restricting the KKR batters. It almost felt like they had it today but fate had other plans. 

The Knight Riders clinched a 24-run victory with a solid all-round performance against the Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2024. Mitchell Starc's brilliance, claiming 4 wickets for 33 runs in 3.5 overs, proved pivotal. 

Chasing 170, Ishan Kishan fell early to Starc, while Naman Dhir and Rohit Sharma struggled against Sunil Narine. Suryakumar Yadav's fifty off 30 balls wasn't enough as wickets tumbled. Varun Chakaravarthy and Narine stifled Mumbai's middle order, each taking 2 wickets for 22 runs. Tim David's effort fell short as Starc's late burst secured the win, restricting Mumbai to 145 in 18.5 overs

MI Vs KKR Live Score: TIM DAVID & CHAWLA GONE! 😱

Hardik Pandya looks so dejected after David's wicket. But that's the hard part of the game. Back-to-back wickets for Starc and he is on a hat-trick. Piyush Chawla departs for a golden duck. MI are 9 down now. 

Mumbai needs 25 runs from 8 balls now. 

AND AS I TYPE THAT, Starc picks up the third wicket of the day, that's Coetzee. And with that MI is done! Mumbai Indians have been crushed and with that their dream to win another trophy too.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Coetzee Joins The Six-Hitting Party!

He smashes into the crowd over mid-wicket. What a shot!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: A good over by Starc!

He concedes just three runs off it and now MI require 43 runs from 18 balls. This is going to be a tough one! A really tough game for MI to win! KKR bowlers are doing so well tonight! The fielders too are spot on!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Mumbai needs 50 off 27!

OH NO! Suryakumar Yadav falls after 56 runs. A brilliant catch from Salt and this a massive moment in the game. All the fans were hoping its a No Ball but that was not the case. A big big big loss for MI camp, Tim David is their only hope now... will they face another heartbreak?

MI Vs KKR Live Score: NO-BALL! 🏏

A front foot no ball from Arora and Surya hammers a six off the free hit. WOW, JUST WOW. Suryakumar making the best use of the FREE-HIT! Opens the face of the bat and slices it over cover for a maximum!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Can Mumbai pull this off?

MI require 80 runs from 42 balls. Vaibhav Arora is back into the attack.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: SIXXX!

Surya smacks a maximum off Andre Russell.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Hardik Pandya GONE!!

What is going on at Wankhede? Hardik Pandya walks back after just one run.An absolute nothing shot. Throws his wicket away when the team is in trouble.

First it looked like it was MI's night but after everything that's been going on it is absolutely disappointing to see how MI have been playing. Such a great effort by MI bowlers and the batters are wasting it all.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: IS THAT A WICKET?

IT IS. Nehal Wadhera has to walk back tonight after just 6 runs.The Mumbai Indians are digging a huge hole for themselves now. Half of their side is back in the hut. 

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Russell Gets Injured?

Russell is down in his followthrough. Looks in a bit of pain and the physio runs out to the middle to check the all-rounder.

But he is walking it off looks like he will not be walking out, not tonight!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: WADHERA GOES PAST RINKU!

Nehal Wadhera's powerful boundary. Poor fielding by Rinku Singh! Andre Russell is not happy today, first Venky Iyer and now Rinku Singh.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Varun-Narine Partner up!

Sunil Narine helping his spin twin get another wicket. Doesn't have to move a muscle to take that! Tilak Varma will not be chasing tonight as he walks back for just 4 runs.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Kolkata are building the pressure!

The fielders are fielding, the bowlers are bowling. Everyone is doing their job well! They are trying to do the best they can with the limited runs they have on the board.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: OH NO! RO fails to HIT!

A good catch taken by Manish Pandey! Rohit Sharma falls for just 11 runs off 12 balls. Rohit transfers his weight on the back leg and goes for the pull shot but fails as Sunil Narine gets his first wicket of the innings.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Chakravarthy gets Dhir!

Oh no! Mumbai lose another one. This time it's Naman Dhir! A googly does the trick. Varun Chakaravarthy comes into the attack and strikes straightaway in the first ball. 

MI at 39/2.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Mumbai cha Kaun?? Rohit bhau!!

A good lofted drive over the extra covers and he hits a maximum of Starc! What a shot! 

MI Vs KKR Live Score: 4 and 4! Naman Dhir at it! 💪🏻

Vaibhav Arora tried his best but couldn't stop Dhir! 

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Starc rips through Ishan Kishan!

What a comeback by the champion bowler. Full and straight with pace and Kishan's stumps goes for a cartwheel. He has no clue about it. Starc draws the first blood and MI are 1 down.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: What are you doing Starc?

Bowling on the pads of Ishan kishan and begging to be hit. A colossal hit towards fine leg for a MAXIMUM. Can Starc make a comeback?

Starc from the other end. Rohit Vs Starc will be interesting!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Excellent over from Vaibhav!

He was right on the money in the first over. Correct lines and lengths and that might put pressure on the MI batters to play some loose shots.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: We are set for the chase!!!

Right then, huge cheer for the local boy, Rohit Sharma, and why not. He holds the key if MI are to win this match. They desperately need a win.

Vaibhav Arora gets the new ball. Can he get it to swing? KKR are 15-20 runs short and Vaibhav needs to get a couple of wickets up-front

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Mumbai Indians need 170 to win! 🤩

Mumbai Indians absolutely owned KKR in the first innings right from the start. Thushara, Panyda and Chawla all came together to pick up wickets right from the start to the middle overs and then came Jasprit Bumrah who absolutely rules the ball, and picked up three wickets. 

Kolkata knight Riders were rattled right from the beginning, they looked absolutely helpless and it showed. After losing Salt and Narine, who have been a crucial part of KKR's batting line-up they never really recovered completely. Although the partnership between Venkatesh Iyer and Manish Pandey helped boost the score, will it be enough? 

MI Vs KKR Live Score: ALL DONE AND DUSTED!

Jasprit Bumrah gets the last man standing, Venkatesh Iyer for 70 runs. That too, he bowled him! Send his middle stump cartwheeling. And that's it KKR are all out 169.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: No Russell Show!  

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Jasprit Bumrah completes 50 wickets at Wankhede Stadium, in IPL!

What a player, what a man. Everyone, bow down to Jassi pajji! 👏🏻

MI Vs KKR Live Score: BOOM BOOM BUMRAH! 🥳

Jasprit Bumrah first picked up Ramandeep Singh with the help of a good catch by Gerald Coetzee. And then clean bowled Mitchell Starc. I told you, it's going to be Bumrah vs Starc tonight! Hahahaha, who knew they would take it literally! 

KKR is at 156/9 at the end of 18 overs.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: IS THAT A WICKET? IT IS! 

Andre Russell has to walk back just as fast as he walked in! A mix-up in the middle and Russell departs. A big moment in the game.Russell almost reached the other end but Venkatesh wasn't interested in it.

Venkatesh Iyer should've sacrificed his wicket here especially after knowing how ruthless Russell can be in the death overs. WHAT A GAME-CHANGING OVER BY PANDYA! WOW.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: WICKET!!! 🚨

Hardik Pandya strikes once again, sends Manish Pandey packing for 42 runs off 31 balls. A good inning sby him comes to an end. He looked very disappointed in himself as he walked back towards the pavillion.  The ball was in the air and it went straight to the substitute Dewald Brevis at extra cover and with that Pandya breaks the big and important partnership.

Here comes Russell!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Absolute class by Pandey!

Thrashes Pandya with a maximum right at the start of his over! WOW. JUST WOW. 👏🏻

MI Vs KKR Live Score: FIFTY for Venkatesh!

What a way to stay calm. Venky Iyer has anchored the sinking ship really well for KKR. A well-composed knock by him, Gambhir will be really happy with his performance tonight!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Good over by Cap Pandya but...

Kolkata Knight Riders have recovered well from their lackluster start, standing at 128/5 in 15 overs. Kolkata had a horrid start to their innings today... they were quick to lose 5 wickets but now the cards have a different story to say.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: This did not age well 😂

MI Vs KKR Live Score: MAXIMUM FOR VENKY!

Venkatesh shimmies down the wicket and sends it straight to the crowd! Hits Coetzee for a maximum! KKR is at 106/5 now.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Mumbai on fire!!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Slowly and steadily!

Venkatesh Iyer and Impact player, Mayank Pandey (who's playing his first IPL game of this season) are slowly and steadily building a partnership to reach at least a respectable total. Will Mumbai spoil this brewing partnership? 

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Most Number of Wickets in IPL

200 - Yuzvendra Chahal

184* - Piyush Chawla

183 - Dwayne Bravo

178 - Bhuvneshwar Kumar

Piyush Chawla jumps up a spot and is now at second number for most wickets in IPL!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: ICYMI! Captain Pandya Strikes, Narine Goes!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Kolkata Knight Riders Are Falling Apart!

Zara hatke, zara bachke, yeh hai mumbai meri jaan! 😮‍💨 Waah waah waah! Piyush Chawla gets another one and this time it's none other than Rinku Singh! After the WC squad snub, he has to face another heartbreak and its this wicket. He has to walk back after scoring just 9 runs. Kolkata has crumbled in front of Mumbai and there is nothing they can do. KKR is at 59/5.

MI Vs KKR Live Score:  End of the powerplay!

A powerplay that had Mumbai Indians written all over it. The Kolkata Knight Riders are off to a shaky start here, MI has rocked their world to the core!  They have lost four wickets and have scored just 57 runs in six overs. Venkatesh and Rinku are at the crease and trying hard to rebuild this innings on this two-paced wicket. 

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Pandya Gets Narine! 👀

Mumbai Indians is unstoppable tonight! KKR is completely shook as they lose the big wicket of Sunil Narine. KKR are tottering at 43/4. What a match to witness! Mumbai playing like the lions they are!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Shreyas Goes Back!

OH-OH-OH!! Nuwan Thushara at it again! 💪🏻 This time is Captain Iyer who has to walk back now. Picks up his third wicket and the KKR skipper departs cheaply on six. The visitors are in a spot of bother here.

Venkatesh Iyer comes in next!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Kolkata Lose Angkrish, thank you Surya bhau!

A stunning catch by Suryakumar Yadav at the short cover sends Angrish reeling back! Nuwan Thushara is on fire tonight, his second wicket of the innings. KKR is rattled as they are 26/2, a very rare sight to witness.

In walks homeboy, Shreyas Iyer... will he do some magic tonight?

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Good fielding by Mumbai!

Mumbai might have missed on a couple of catches before but NOT TODAY, NOT TODAY! Good fielding by all the teammates, whether it's near the boundary or the mid-off or long on! Something tells me it's going to be Mumbai's night tonight! 

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Beginning of the end!

KKR lose their first wicket of the day and its none other than Phil Salt. Nuwan Thushara delivered a back of a length delivery angling away a shade outside the off-stump.

A collision between Tilak Varma and Naman Dhir but the former held his nerve and made an excellent catch thereby dismissing Salt for just 5 runs.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Phil-Narine Begin!

Thushara aimed at holding the reins further, however, failed as Salt smacked a boundary off him the moment he got the chance to. Breaking this partnership at the earliest is all that MI needs in order to increase their chances at winning.

And with that statement looks like Thushara heard it!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Homecoming For Shreyas!

Not to forget, Shreyas Iyer will play at his home ground tonight. The KKR skipper is not at his scintillating best tonight, and don't be surprised tonight be the night where things can change drastically.

The umpires are out in the middle, and so are all players. Hardik Pandya is setting up his troops, while Phil Salt and Sunil Narine are in the middle to kick things off. Nuwan Thushara to begin!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Hmmmm, Rohit, The Impact Man!

Well, well well! Rohit Sharma will come as an impact substitute tonight. Smart move by MI, I would say. The former MI skipper is having a poor run of form in the competition, and keeping him fresh while chasing could help him a lot against a franchise whom he tore apart more often than not in the past.

The action is not too far away. Hold your horses!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Impact Substitutes

Mumbai Indians: Rohit Sharma, Dewald Brevis, Romario Shepherd, Shams Mulani, Shivalik Sharma

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Look how far they've come!

MI Vs KKR Live Score: The KKR Wagon is on their way! 

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Head-to-head at Wankhede Stadium in IPL-

Matches: 9

MI Won: 8

KKR Won: 1

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Ishan tayar ahe!  🤩

MI Vs KKR Live Score: What happened the last MI vs KKR met?

Back in IPL 2023 at Wankhede Stadium, MI chose to field after winning the toss. KKR's Gurbaz and N. Jagadeesan fell early, but Venkatesh Iyer's explosive 104 off 51 balls lifted KKR to 185. Hrithik Shokeen took 2 wickets for MI. 

In response, MI's Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan's 65-run opening set the tone. Kishan's rapid 50 off 21 balls propelled MI, supported by Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma's 60-run partnership. Despite KKR's late bowling surge, David's brisk 24 off 13 balls secured MI's victory. Iyer's century for KKR couldn't halt Mumbai's determined chase.

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Wankhede Pitch Report

The pitch at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai is likely a batting-friendly pitch with short boundaries at the square. In the powerplay, the pitch can offer some assistance to the pace bowlers, as there could be a hint of seam movement in the first half of the game. 

The track offers some pace and bounce making batting and stroke play easy for the batsman. The spinners won't likely get any help from the pitch. 

At this deck, toss plays a vital role, so the toss-winner opts to bowl first and chase the target. 

MI Vs KKR Live Score: Team Previews

Mumbai Indians: Regarding MI, the five-time champions have been marred by inconsistency from their batters as well as bowlers. While none of their bowlers apart from Jasprit Bumrah has stepped up with the ball, the likes of Suryakumar Yadav, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan have let them down with the bat. 

So, moving on to this game, skipper Hardik Pandya must introspect his own performance and motivate his troops for an improved show against the rampant Knight Riders. 

Kolkata Knight Riders: On the other hand, KKR, led by Shreyas Iyer, have been absolutely ruthless, particularly with their batting approach, as Sunil Narine and Phil Salt have massacred the opponent bowling attacks. More importantly, whenever the openers have failed, Shreyas Iyer has led from the front, getting ample assistance from Andre Russell and Venkatesh Iyer. 

On the bowling front, youngster Vaibhav Arora has consistently chipped in with early wickets, with ace speedster Mitchell Starc disappointing the two-time champions with his expensive spells. However, Varun Chakravarthy's renaissance must've encouraged KKR as the mystery spinner is high on confidence after a clinical three-fer against Delhi Capitals.
