Today's match was really unbelievable, I thought maybe Kolkata Knight Riders would win the match today, but their game was very bad. This is the first time Kolkata Knight Riders have given such a low target in IPL, this is one of the worst batting performances this year. Targeting only 116 runs, KKR's performance today was not good at all, their batting was the worst, as a result they could not increase the runs. However, Mumbai Indians' bowling was amazing and they also performed well in batting, they were able to meet the target of only 116 runs very easily. Mumbai Indians won today's match by 8 wickets, they won their first match of this year's IPL by defeating Kolkata Knight Riders.
Totally unpredictable and today Kolkata Knight Riders squad was disappointed me and their fans. Mumbai India squad did a strong come back in the competition and this was the their first victory in Indian Premium league competition. Kolkata Knight Riders squad was begun match first with the batting inning and their batters managed to collect 116 scores just in first inning and posted to Mumbai India squad. This showed that Mumbai India squad really displayed significant performance and restricted them to low quality scores. Ashwani Kumar picked up 4 crucial wickets of Kolkata Knight Riders Rinku Singh, Ajinkya Rahane, Quinton de Kock and Andre Russell. All are main members of Kolkata Knight Riders squad and all wickets dropped out by Ashwani Kumar Bowler. With the support of Ryan Rickelton batters Mumbai Indian squad simply achieved a victory and he collected 62 scores.
A performance like this from the defending champions really disappoints us. Kolkata were an unbeaten team last season but this season they have not started the season well so far. Basically Kolkata Knight Riders have sold some key players from last season team due to which we have not seen such good team performance from Kolkata Knight Riders till now. Kolkata Knight Riders have kept two of those preferred cricketers in the team as auto choices but these players are not able to contribute in batting and bowling. These two Caribbean stars have played for Kolkata Knight Riders for a long time now I think Kolkata Knight Riders should think about them and replace them with two good foreign cricketers.
Shah Rukh Khan's team will not be able to go far in this IPL if Kolkata Knight Riders do not improve their performance very soon like they did against Mumbai Indians.
