Kolkata won the toss and chose to bowl first against Mumbai Indian. Rohit Sharma's men came to bat first and set a target of 211 runs in front of Dinesh Karthik's KKR. Well, KKR's batsmen bent their knee in front of MI's bowler and lost the match by 102 runs against them. Mumbai Indians Ishan Kishan became the Man of the Match.

The team skipper Sharma scored 36 runs. KKR's Piyush Chawla took 3 wickets by giving just 43 runs in 4 over.

“As a team, we tend to pick up in the month of May. I can only wish and hope we come together as a team at the start. It's never easy to come out right all the time, we'd like to start on a high. I'm glad we came together as a team and performed well. Without doubt Ishan Kishan's knock, his fearless knock was the turning point. Hitting wasn't easy, the ball was sticking in. He just came in and changed momentum. Credit to him, he was waiting for this knock, wanted to come out. Also for Ben Cutting to come out and finish on a high, he hasn't got a lot of opportunities, but he backed himself to do that,” said MI's skipper Rohit Sharma after the match.

Well, today KKR's batsmen played their worst match of the season as no batsmen managed to score above twenty other than Chris Lynn and Nitish Rana. While, MI's Krunal Pandya, Hardik Pandya took 2 wickets each and rest took single.
