IPL 2024: Match 51, Stats Review: Most times getting dismissed by a single bowler in T20s and other stats from MI vs KKR

On an untypically refreshing surface at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, Kolkata Knight Riders broke their 12-year winless run against Mumbai Indians in this stadium. MI have now fallen to a fourth consecutive loss in this season. 

MI sent KKR in and the decision paid immediate amends as Nuwan Thushara (3 for 42) removed Phil Salt in the first over. KKR never seemed to recover and slumped to 57/5 just after the powerplay. On a rather difficult surface to bat, KKR's Impact Player Manish Pandey (42 off 31) and Player of the Match Venkatesh Iyer (70 off 52) steadies the ship with some fantastic display of recovery batting putting up 83 in a little over 10 overs. Once Pandey left, Jasprit Bumrah (3 for 18) returned at the death to kill any chance of KKR making one final push and KKR could only manage being bowled out for 169.

MI didn't fare any better at the start and had lost 3 wickets in the powerplay. Suryakumar Yadav (56 off 35) kept MI in the chase despite regular wickets dropping at the other end, and once Yadav left, KKR put a very firm stronghold on the match and eventually won by 24 runs after Mitchell Starc(4 for 33) took three wickets in the penultimate over to leave MI stranded on 145. Varun Chakravarthy (2 for 22), Sunil Narine (2 for 22) and Andre Russell(2 for 30) also contributed handsomely with the ball in a designated team effort.
