Suryakumar Yadav marked his maiden appearance in Indian Premier League’s 2022 edition with a fifty that helped Mumbai Indians set a respectable total against Kolkata Knight Riders. But it was Pat Cummins, also playing his first game of the season, who took the game away from Mumbai Indians and hand the Knight Riders a rare win against its bogey team.
Riding on Suryakumar (52, 36b, 5x4, 2x6) and Tilak’s 83-run partnership off 52 ball and Kieron Pollard’s streaky cameo (22 n.o., 3x6), Mumbai Indians set the Knight Riders a target of 162 at the Maharashtra Cricket Association’s International Stadium on Thursday night.
