KKR have finally won it! They have avoided a seventh successive defeat and thus, kept themselves in the hunt. Fifties from Chris Lynn and Shubman Gill got them to a commandable position, and that led to an Andre Russell show, as the West Indian smashed 80 off just 40 deliveries.
In reply, MI lost four wickets, but a 34-ball 91 from Hardik Pandya infused a few jitters into the KKR faithful. However, once he perished, the outside chance of winning the game too, vanished.
This has opened up the IPL table again!
