IPL Highlights | Russell mania again; KKR beat MI

Welcome to Match 47 of the Indian Premier League. We are at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata where the home side, which is win-less in 6 games, takes on the strong Mumbai team. The visitors are a win from qualifying for the playoffs and even have a chance to go top of the table, provided they win tonight. It will be tough to do so against a team desperate for a victory as the hosts are suffering a rut of poor form. Andre Russell, who has been their star performer, has even come out with a scathing denunciation of the way they have played in a pre-match press conference. Can Kolkata turn it around? Winning the toss might help them on a ground where batting second has worked more often than not. Let's see what happens as the action is not too far away.

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!

Join us tomorrow as we bring to you the live coverage of the game between SRH and KXIP. That's all from me, Akarshak Roy, for today. Hope to see you tomorrow. Until then, good bye.
