KKR vs MI 2024 Highlights: Kolkata Knight Riders won in the IPL 2024 match against Mumbai Indians on May 12 at Eden Gardens.
Kolkata won the match by 18 runs and registered their 9th campaign victory. With this victory, Kolkata has become the first team to qualify for the Playoff in the ongoing season.
Varun Chakravarthy was named as the Player of the match for his impressive spell in the match. While speaking in the post-match conference, “The plan was to make him (Rohit) hit across the line, obviously there was help from the wicket and I was able to use it to my advantage.”
“Tactically we (talking about Narine) are similar, but technically we are slightly different. The wickets were too flat initially, my bowling has been the same from the first match and it is just that the results are showing up now.”
Joy at the Eden Gardens for the @KKRiders 💜
The @ShreyasIyer15-led side enter the #TATAIPL 2024 Playoffs with a clinical win 👏👏
