Kolkata Knight Riders won the toss and elected to field. Mumbai, who were looking for their first win of the tournament, lost the captain in the powerplay over. Rohit Sharma (3 off 12 balls) was dismissed by Umesh Yadav.
Ishant Kishan also struggled to find the touch and Dewald Brevis, who made his debut in the tournament, led the Mumbai Indians. Cricket fans refer to the youngster as Baby AB, as he bears a striking resemblance to former South African AB de Villiers in batting and other disciplines.
Bravis returned in this match to show the similarities of the former South African star. He scored 29 off 19 balls, including 2 fours and 2 sixes. In the eighth over, Devold Breivis welcomed Varun Chakraborty for a no-look six.
But the next three balls did not give up a run and Varun Chakraborty came back strong. The next ball is not batted during the attempt for a slog sweep. Sam Billings, who picked up the ball, was making lightning stumpings without wasting time. With Baby out, Mumbai Indians were 2 for 45.
