KKR lost the match that they should win. In a 40 over match, KKR was in control till 35 overs but a fantastic display of spin by Rahul Chahar and some wrong decision cost the match. Mumbai Indians beat Kolkata Knight Riders by 10 runs at MA Chidambaram Stadium.

KKR won the toss and opted to bowl first. On such a slow wicket at chepuk the decision was taken perfectly by KKR skipper Eion Morgan and bowlers also backed the decision by a classic display of attacking bowling.  Russel helps kkr ware up Mumbai for 152. He took 5 wickets in only two over which is Russell's best figure in T20 also. Apart from west Indian legend Varun Chakravarthy, Shakib al Hasan, and Prasidh Krishna shares one wicket each. Pat Cummins took two wickets for KKR.

On the other hand, Suryakumar Yadav (56) and  Rohit Sharma (43) are the only two batsmen who look comfortable in front of KKR attack, and because of these two MI register a fighting total.

Responding to 153 run target Kolkata started in style. Subhman Gill and Nitish Rana made 72 runs partnership for the first wicket. Gill departs on 33 and from there KKR lost its momentum. They lost quick wickets in regular intervals. Eion Morgan (7), Rahul Tripathi (5), Shakib (9), Andre Russell (9) failed to make an impact that was needed from these big names. Rahul Chahar took 4-wickets, two important wickets at last overtaken by Trent Boult. Krunal Pandya got one wicket in this match.
