I had the fantastic experience of watching the electrifying encounter between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on Monday, March 31. The home crowd was buzzing with excitement, making the atmosphere truly unforgettable.
KKR batted first after losing the toss, but struggled from the outset against disciplined bowling by Mumbai. Shubman Gill was their standout batter, contributing a valuable 48 off 36 balls, but lacked consistent support. MI’s star bowler Jasprit Bumrah delivered a superb spell, claiming 3 wickets for just 22 runs, instrumental in restricting KKR to a modest total of 148/7 in their 20 overs.
Chasing 149, Mumbai Indians started strong with their openers providing a solid foundation. Ishan Kishan was spectacular, scoring a commanding 65 off 41 balls, and captain Rohit Sharma supported him with a composed innings of 47 off 35 balls. Their significant partnership ensured MI comfortably approached their target.
Mumbai Indians comfortably reached the target in just 17 overs, securing a comprehensive 8-wicket victory. This impressive performance reinforced Mumbai’s formidable reputation and showcased their prowess in the ongoing IPL 2025.
