De Cock, Chahar Lead Eight-Wicket victory over Kolkata Knight Riders

Quinton de Kock’s unbeaten 78 adopted by Hardik Pandya’s fast cameo in direction of the end guided Mumbai Indians to an 8-wicket win in opposition to Kolkata Knight Riders within the thirty-second match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021. After opting to bat first, KKR managed to score 148/5 as Rahul Chahar (2/18), Trent Boult (1/32), Jasprit Bumrah (1/22) and Nathan Coulter-Nile (1/51) were among the many wickets. In reply, Mumbai Indians comfortably chased down the goal with 19 balls to spare. A 94-run stand for the opening wicket between Rohit Sharma (35) and de Kock laid the inspiration of MI’s run-chase. Suryakumar Yadav contributed with 10 runs while Hardik Pandya remained unbeaten on 21.
