Cummins bowls the last over and he takes the wicket of Surya. Surya departs after scoring brilliant 52 runs for Mumbai Indians. Pollard smashes a six here in the last over. He hits it straight this time. Pollard ends the over with a six. MI are 161/4 after 20 overs.
SKY is playing a brilliant knock here for Mumbai Indians. He hits a boundary against Sunil Narine. After struggling for a while, Mumbai are coming back in the game. MI are 129/3 after 18 overs.
Tilak Varma goes down on one knee and hits it over for a six against Cummins. Tilak Varma is playing good cricket here. MI are 92/3 after 15.2 overs.
The ball skied between the wicketkeeper Sam Billings and the stumps. Fairly high, it hung up there long and everyone in the ground and beyond would have known that it was the ‘keeper’s catch. Except Ajinkya Rahane. It was Umesh Yadav’s last over and he had hurried the left-handed Tilak Verma with a sharp bouncer. The pull was late, the ball was too fast, and it flew right up. For some reason, Rahane chose to intervene from point. Billings ran towards the stumps, Rahane ran towards the stumps, Umesh jogged towards it and suddenly chaos erupted. Billings stopped short. Rahane almost paused. Heart-rates must have escalated on the field, surely. Then Rahane lunged at the last minute to clang the catch. Billings shook his head, Rahane looked like a forlorn puppy and Umesh winced. And that cliche of rubbing salt to the wounds, Suryakumar Yadav, who had crossed over, slapped a four and upper cut a six off the next two balls.

In his first IPL outing, Dewald Brevis, dubbed the ‘Baby AB’, betrayed nerves, but he also dropped flashes of flair that could make him a future star. Though not quite a replica of Mr 360— he has yet to attain his sophistry and range and technique-wise he’s quite different too — he demonstrated that he has the strokes to grab the eyeballs and set the heart racing. One of them was a flicked six of Varun Chakravarthy. Unfazed by the latter’s mystery quotient, he nonchalantly wristed the first ball he faced over wide long-on. Reading the variation, judging the trajectory, he pressed forward, picked the ball and just whirled his wrists to coax it over the ropes with an effortlessness that was more reminiscent of Herschelle Gibbs than de Villiers. A few balls before that, he slapped Umesh Yadav’s short ball through long-on too, after he had cuffed Rasikh Salam through long-on. Eventually, Chakravarthy avenged for the six, having him stumped four balls later. But there was an irrepressible spunk about the 19-year-old that makes him a talent to keep a close watch on.

Umesh Yadav to Suryakumar Yadav hits it over the mid-wicket and fetches a boundary against Umesh Yadav. He ends the over with a six. What a batting by SKY. MI are 71/3 after 13 overs.
Huge blow for Mumbai Indians. Ishan Kishan departs after scoring just 14 runs. Cummins miscues the pull and Shreyas Iyer does the rest. MI are 56/3 after 11 overs.
That's a huge breakthrough for KKR. Brevis tries to hit the ball but ends up missing it and Billings does the rest by stumping. MI are 45/2 after 8 overs.
Umesh Yadav has turned on the Beast Mode this IPL. The best part of his fiery bowling is that he has managed to intimidate batsmen with classic outswing bowling at pace. The matchup vs Rohit Sharma was always going to be fascinating as he has taken out the India opener four times before this game. Rohit tried everything in this game to distract Umesh of his strength. He charged down the track, he tried to hit on the up but Umesh stuck to his guns. And then he served a cracking short ball to the best puller in Indian team but he cleverly served it outside off stump. Rohit tried to fetch it from there and it was always going to be a losing cause as it kicked up at pace and unsurprisingly he top-edged a skier to the wicketkeeper. “White or red, the skill lies in swinging the ball, na? I can do it as I have done it. Of course, the lengths will vary and that is obvious and down to cricketing intelligence. I can prove myself as a wicket-taking bowler. I haven’t been used properly by selectors,” Umesh once told this newspaper and if he continues like this, the selectors can't continue to ignore.

What a cracking shot by Brevis. He slogs with a full flow against Chakaravarthy for a six. Young Brevis is on fire now. MI are 45/1 after 7.2 overs.
Sunil Narine is bowling tight and not giving any room to the MI batters. Brevis looks dangerous, Kishan is batting carefully. MI are 39/1 after 7 overs.
The Mumbai captain is the first wicket to fall! He miscues one after a scratchy 12-ball 3 and Sam Billings takes a fine catch. Umesh strikes early once again. OUT for 3. Dewald Brevis replaces Rohit at the crease. MI are 7/1 after 3 overs
Rohit and Ishan Kishan open the match for Mumbai Indians. Umesh Yadav opens the attack for Kolkata. MI are 1/0 after 1 over
Rohit Sharma: We were looking to bat first. We are not looking at what happened in the last 2 games, we have to play good cricket to win games and that is what we are prepared for. Looks like a good pitch. We have done well in patches and when you want to win games you gotta perform collectively and I think that is something that was missing in the last 2 games. Couple of changes. Surykumar Yadav comes in place of Anmolpreet Singh and we got Dewald Brevis who comes in for Tim David.
Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Ishan Kishan(w), Rohit Sharma(c), Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Daniel Sams, Dewald Brevis, Murugan Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Tymal Mills, Basil Thampi
Shreyas Iyer: We are gonna bowl first. We are comfortable chasing with a set target in mind. All the teams are equally good and we always have to take that winning mindset and try and back your abilities. We got two changes. Pat Cummins comes in place of Southee and Rasikh Salam comes in for Shivam Mavi. Southee was very supportive and we had a good conversation about the team changes.
Kolkata Knight Riders (Playing XI): Ajinkya Rahane, Venkatesh Iyer, Shreyas Iyer(c), Sam Billings(w), Nitish Rana, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Pat Cummins, Umesh Yadav, Rasikh Salam, Varun Chakaravarthy
