LIVE, IPL 2021, MI vs KKR Full Cricket Score: Rohit, De Kock with a strong start in Powerplay – Firstcricket News, Firstpost
MI vs KKR, IPL 2021 Live Cricket Score Updates: It’s a return to spin for KKR, Sunil Narine is back. Couple of singles to begin with. A dot, and then a very dangerous delivery that just about whistles past the outside edge of Rohit Sharma’s bat. It was quick, and Sharma tried to poke at it, but he missed the ball. That could’ve been dangerous. Back-to-back singles to finish, good over, just four runs off it.
Preview: Fourth-placed Mumbai Indians (MI) face a stiff challenge in their bid to retain their play-off qualification spot when they take on sixth-placed Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in a mid-table IPL 2021 clash on Thursday.
In their first match of the second leg of the IPL 2021 season, MI suffered a 20-run defeat at the hands of second-placed Chennai Super Kings. Another defeat in quick succession would jeopardize their current position in the table, and leave them open to being leap-frogged by the likes of KKR and Rajasthan Royals.
KKR, on the other hand, enjoyed a winning return to action, as they beat the Virat Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore by nine wickets, after restricting their opponents to a meagre total of 92. Opening pair Shubman Gill and Venkatesh Iyer did well to chase down the total within just 10 overs, scoring 48 and 41* respectively.
