NEW DELHI: Spin twins Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy orchestrated a remarkable turnaround for Kolkata Knight Riders after Mumbai Indians made a strong start, securing a playoffs berth with an 18-run victory in a rain-affected IPL match on Saturday.
Venkatesh Iyer's explosive 42 off just 21 balls shone bright amidst a disciplined bowling effort from Mumbai Indians, as KKR managed 157/7 following a delayed start that shortened the match to 16 overs per side.
