    0.5 Thushara gets Salt with the slower one. Skied, Kamboj takes it at fine leg. The line and length - full and on middle and leg - gave the impression of being a slot ball. But the offcutter deceived Salt, who tried to pick it up square on the leg side. He crouched and swung fully, got a top edge. Felt for a second it might be a keeper's catch but was taken just in front of the stumps. 6/1
    1.1 Uh oh, that's a boo boo from Narine. Leaves an inswinging yorker on off, and the ball rattles off stump! This was the mini version of that nightmare Maxwell leave in the BBL. Bumrah going beyond the straight with the release, almost started from cover. It swerved late and dinked the outer-half of off stump. Narine had all stumps exposed and probably thought it'll keep going away. End-to-end grin from Bumrah. Dude's just too good a bowler even for peak, zen Narine. MI have blown out KKR's dangerous opening pair in seven balls. 10/2
    8.1 V Iyer does go hard but holes out to long-off. Danced down right away, pre-meditated, and tried to launch it downtown. Got it off the bottom of the bat and SKY took it around chest-height. V Iyer might be done for the game with the hamstring issue. 77/4
    4.1 Another boo boo, this time from S Iyer, who walks too far across and gets bowled. He was probably looking to meddle with Kamboj's line and maybe negate the movement off the pitch. Was deep in the crease and on off before the ball was delivered, went further away and the ball seamed in to go past the flick. It clipped the top of leg and Kamboj's hand went right up before he went into prayer 40/3
    11.6 Rana caught napping for a moment, goes through with the single. Direct hit at the non-striker's end. Has he made it? No, the bat is just behind the crease as the stumps lit up. Replays show it might be miscommunication with Russell also stopping for a bit. Was a fullish slower ball following Rana as he made room, he opened the face and guided it. Pity that. Rana was so good against MI's best bowler but that match-up won't continue till Bumrah's final over 116/5
    12.6 High, very very high, and not far enough. Chawla's bumper does the trick. 117ks long-hop just outside off, Russell was springing in his crease and tried to pull it into oblivion but got hurried just a bit. His feet got jammed in the end, a sign of being cramped for room. Was enough to find the top edge, Kamboj was a few metres in from the deep-midwicket boundary and took it with ease. Chawla goes SRK mode with his celebrations, hands spread apart, as Russell sighs in disappointment 125/6
    15.2 The angle is sharp and the slower one nicks off Rinku. Full and slow, delivered from cover again, Rinku cleared the front foot and tried slugging over long-on. Got a thick edge that ballooned to the keeper's left 148/7

    6.5 Narine outfoxes Kishan with a 95ks slot ball and has the last laugh. The wobble on the ball upon release is more noticeable than the revs. Almost like a carrom ball and it was angled at the stumps, Kishan tried to power it over midwicket but hit it too flat. Fielder was well inside and took it easily. Narine has 550 T20 wickets 65/1
    7.5 Rohit's struggle ends, Chakravarthy has worked him over. Rohit shaped to back away before returning to an upright position, tried to sweep the length ball angling towards him but the ball bounced more than he expected. The follow-through wasn't big but the top edge was enough to carry to short fine leg 67/2
    10.5 Heaved flat and straight to Ramandeep at deep square leg! Scramble-seam ball at 135ks, Russell's wrist pushed towards slip, maybe to try and get the ball further away. He hit a length and the line was around the off-side tramline. SKY was halfway into a squat and tried to kinda helicopter it. The wrists turned and the bat heaved but he couldn't elevate it. May have wanted to go finer too. In the end, it's Russell and Ramandeep celebrating jubilantly 87/3
    15.3 Tilak throws the bedroom sink at it, edges to the keeper. Even Gautam Gambhir's smiling. He was standing with back foot deep in the crease, wide outside off, and front foot on leg, maybe shaped to heave it across but had to try and slap it as the length ball kept going away. Swung himself off into a bullwhip 137/8
    11.4 Chakravarthy gets MI's past and current captains. He's giving away nothing. No room, no bounce to work with, so Pandya has to manufacture it against a 100ks length ball rising to the top of the stumps. Backed away but not enough to middle it, the ball ballooned off the top edge of the heaving bat and was taken at short third. 91/4
    12.1 KKR have one foot in the playoffs now. Slow, into the pitch does the trick! Short cutter was wide, spun back in and David tried to pull it hard. Got a top edge to deep midwicket 92/5
    13.6 Flat batted but not in full control. Rolls to Starc at long-off. Wadhera didn't want two but Tilak didn't give him a choice. He wanted the strike back and Starc throws it on the bounce to Salt, who finishes the job! Maybe the communication could've been better. But KKR will take that. Replays show that Wadhera even changed his line 117/6
    15.1 Skied, Rinku takes it at deep midwicket. Big pop from the crowd! Harshit's pumping the air bending forward, his face isn't far from the ground. Naman went back in the crease and tried picking up the length ball, angling in towards him. Looked like a leading edge. 136/7
