| 1.2 : 1.2: Varun Chakaravarthy to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Poor ball and punished! Mumbai get their first boundary of the game and it comes from the bat of their skipper. Chakaravarthy eers on the shorter side on off. Rohit pulls it with ease over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 1.6 : 1.6: Varun Chakaravarthy to Quinton de Kock, OUT! CAUGHT! Very good catch from Rahul Tripathi and Morgan's plan to start with two spinners has been rewarded. De Kock's start to the 2021 season is not a glorious one. It is very short and he is out of here. Varun Chakaravarthy, who was the star last season strikes early in this game. Tossed up fuller on middle, de Kock looks to slog it over mid-wicket. The ball though is a fraction slow. He mistimes it high in the air. Rahul Tripathi runs to his |

There is a long on and deep mid-wicket but SKY places it right between them for a boundary. |
| 2.5 : 2.5: Harbhajan Singh to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! This time through the off side! Straighter one on off, it is not a bad ball but Suryakumar is in such form that even the good balls are made to look ordinary. It is on off, Suryakumar gets on his front foot and drives it uppishly but well away from short cover and through extra cover for a boundary. |
| 4.6 : 4.6: Varun Chakaravarthy to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Excellent shot to finish the over. Spoils the over for Varun Chakaravarthy. Tossed up outside off, Rohit gets down on his knee and drags his sweep over square leg for a boundary. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: Pat Cummins to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Cummins gives width and gets punished. One thing you certainly do not do against Suryakumar Yadav is give him width. He will punish you. Length ball outside off, Suryakumar Yadav says thank you very much and slashes it through covers for a boundary. |
| 7.3 : 7.3: Prasidh Krishna to Suryakumar Yadav, SIX! What a delightful shot! Prasidh rolls his finger on this as he bowls it on off. Suryakumar comes inside the stumps and lifts his flick elegantly over mid-wicket. The ball hits the advertising cushion on the full. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Prasidh Krishna to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Right off the middle! Cracking noise as the ball hit the bat! That was cricketing poetry! Length ball on off, Suryakumar gets on top of the bounce and crunches it through extra cover for a classy boundary. |

| 10.3 : 10.3: Shakib Al Hasan to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! CAUGHT! Suryakumar departs soon after getting a fifty but take nothing away from this innings. A fabulous innings from SKY comes to an end. Floated delivery on off, Suryakumar looks to deposit it over the long on fence. The ball comes slower than he anticipated. He comes down the track but does not time it well. It goes very high in the air. Shubman Gill comes running in from long on and takes the skier very nicely. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Pat Cummins to Ishan Kishan, OUT! CAUGHT! Cummins gets his first of the game and Ishan Kishan's stay in the middle is a very brief one. The short ball has done the trick and this is a good comeback from the Australian after being hit for a massive biggie in the last ball of his previous over. Cummins bangs it in short and directs it well too. It is right on the body. Ishan Kishan loves to hook. He goes for it but he is not in control of it. It goes to the right of fine leg. Prasidh Krishn |

| 15.2 : 15.2: Pat Cummins to Rohit Sharma, OUT! CHOPPED ON! Cummins was brought in to do the damage and that is exactly what he has done. A very non-fluent innings from Rohit comes to an end. Not often do we say that but tonight the Mumbai skipper just was not at his usual best. Pacy good length delivery around off. Cummins hits the deck hard and makes the ball come back in. Rohit looks to play it away from his body but ends up getting a thick inside edge onto the stumps. Massive wicket for Kolkata as |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Prasidh Krishna to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Nice shot! Length delivery outside off, Pandya lofts it over point for a boundary. |
| 16.2 : 16.2: Prasidh Krishna to Hardik Pandya, OUT! CAUGHT! Finally some success for Prasidh and he has got the dangerous Hardik Pandya. He is not ready to leave the field. A very good comeback from Prasidh after being hit for a boundary. He has been expensive so far but has got the big fish now. A nice change up from Prasidh. He rolls his fingers on this one and bowls it on off. Hardik looks to go over mid off but the bat turns in his hands and the lack of pace sees him just hit it in the air and str |
| 17.2: Andre Russell to Kieron Pollard, OUT! CAUGHT! Pollard disappoints! Russell gets the big man! He gets the dangerous Kieron Pollard. Kolkata are doing a fantastic job with the ball here.

He makes Pollard try and use his reach. Pollard stretches and looks to hit it over long off. KP cannot get enou |
| 17.3 : 17.3: Andre Russell to Marco Jansen, OUT! CAUGHT! Second wicket in the over for Russell and Jansen is yet to get his first runs in this league. Back-to-back ducks for the lanky South African. Fullish and wide outside off. Jansen stays on the leg stump and stretches out.
