In the 16th match of DLF – IPL, Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and elected to bat first but the charged Mumbai Indians were today in no mood to let Kolkata Knight Riders to a flyer. The very experienced Pollock striked twice in the very first over and gave a huge shock to Knight Riders as Ganguly and Mac Cullam were back in the pavilion the very first over and the score was 6/2. Then Ponting and Dass took the score to 40 and it looked like a decent partnership is building up but then Bravo got the wicket of Dass and again the Knight Riders were in serious troubles. Ponting and Hussey took the score to 74 and then Hussey was the one to return to pavilion. Soon Ponting was brilliantly run out by Rahane/Jayasuriya. The problems of Knight Riders were deepened by Jayasurya who took 3 crucial wickets and Knight Riders were struggling at 90/7 in 15.3 overs. Laxmi Ratan Shukla came in to bat and provided some relief to the Knight Riders by scoring 40 runs in 21 balls. Kathik was out in the last over after scoring 10 runs but it was L.R Shukla who played a short timely innings to help Knight Riders score 137 runs in 20 overs.
