00:00After a blockbuster opener in Bangalore yesterday before a passionate and yet thankful crowd
00:06we come to another grand theater it can be intimidating it will be a sea of blue it is
00:14in Mumbai that the Tata IPL 2026 by this latest pit stop you've seen these scenes before it is
00:23monochrome there is only one color you come here to beat the Mumbai Indians you've got to play
00:28very very well it's a ground that suits them they've got a very good record there and it's a big
00:34season
00:34for the Mumbai Indians but they're up against the Kolkata night riders with a very interesting
00:40head-to-head record in recent times they might have been afflicted by injuries but you never
00:47know once you take the field there's a lot of match winners strewn around in both sides today
00:59just rises tall doesn't it this stadium it can be not played here before you can suddenly feel like
01:05everyone's looking down on you this is what I was talking about now overall it's 24 11 but look at
01:14that little line at the bottom the last seven matches it's 5-2 to KKR
01:21with a swing but down the leg side
01:26must be something that he thinks about now Trent Bolt
01:33he was here went to RCB and now
01:39Bolt is his partner Boomer is his partner here some combination there my goodness on down the leg so
01:46far one in the slot for Ajinka Rahane who hits the first big one for KKR and hits it with
01:57the timing
02:01and that might well beat the fielder there no it doesn't it's a good stop well done in the field
02:06early on Mumbai Indians front and maybe get a bit from Gazzan
02:12good first ball I just think on that impact sub I'm not so sure you want to be that impact
02:19just slip
02:19maybe it's gone fine enough for his first boundary don't think it quite ended up where he thought it
02:26would but he'll take the fall
02:35in an effort
02:39no that was short and had too much room for the better bit of a free hit down the leg
02:44side
02:46stage of the game to power players like this oh my goodness
02:53it's a monster
02:59better ball probably missing leg but certainly beat the batter in the shot
03:06oh two shot again and this will clear the boundary too Finn Allen's had three free hits
03:11and is it two sixes and a four 17 of the over it's 31 for
03:18and that'll be more sixes it's raining sixes here it's already the fourth
03:24oh and it doesn't
03:28six ball this time is much flatter once again down the leg side and Rahane showing
03:35there's a reason he wants to be at the top of the order
03:41more runs this time along the ground but four will do the night riders not yet four overs into
03:48their innings and knocking on four balls it'll be called wide it'll be called wide
03:59oh shot
04:01bouncer followed by a full 50 comes up in no time at all in the twinkum has already been
04:08thought about
04:09four more this is a mega over mega mega over 26 after the
04:15and now just with boomerang they had to
04:19again using the pace
04:23yet another boundary
04:26my word the runs are coming thick and fast
04:34and it's fantastic to see
04:39just over mid wicket
04:43finds the boundary
04:52so it's the aging delivery is a whopping 50
04:57that's in the air
05:00and taken in the deep
05:04he's a bit of a golden arm
05:06Zadul Thakur
05:0930 matches
05:19oh lovely shot
05:22he's always been pleasing on the eye especially when he times it
05:29oh that's strider and a clean hit
05:34well he's played a lot with Chargul Thakur they both play for the same
05:43nice timing
05:50that's up in the air
05:52will go the distance
05:56so it's gone high it's gone all out
05:59having a go if you want
06:01and just do whatever you like and that's
06:04fine you're kind of shielded by all the others who are the same families
06:11so H gone it's 101 for one
06:18more runs flowing flowing at the moment
06:20another boundary
06:21Cam Green is now up and running 17 of
06:25ready
06:29the catch is taken
06:32and i'll tell you what Cameron Green is sitting there thinking what on earth have i just done
06:449 of the over
06:46and a wicket for Chargul Thakur
06:5354
06:54that's what he did
06:57oh there again that's the pace
06:59and that's why they like him at KKR
07:01because he has that wrist work
07:08what they've also done is
07:14wow
07:16he just picked up the length so beautifully
07:19and that bat swing
07:21KP Ravi
07:23gorge for that to happen
07:24you have to keep that score ball ticking
07:27you have to make sure that if the opportunity presents itself
07:29you smack it
07:31there
07:33still delivering very good returns
07:35look out look out boy
07:38two more
07:41yay
07:44so a little bit to talk about for reasons people looked at the Kolkata night drive
07:53just five
07:54just five of the over
07:55it's now a hundred
07:57have been
08:00definitely a plan
08:01definitely a ploy here
08:03and it's working beautifully
08:10that'll go for four
08:12much needed that
08:14desperate they were for a
08:15a boundary at the very least
08:21just a single
08:24just a single
08:26batting second you'd expect
08:28that you
08:29and it's really hard to change your brain
08:34field
08:34field
08:35field
08:35field
08:35field
08:35field
08:36takes the catch
08:39it's slowed down
08:40and
08:41Jinka Rahane
08:42is so quick out
08:43the blocks
08:44and then a surge
08:46a
08:51inside edge
08:53and he'll be off the mark
08:55straight away
08:58up
08:59up and away
09:00one bounce
09:01and
09:03they needed that
09:04four runs
09:06brings up a hundred and fifty
09:09oh
09:10picks up the fielder
09:12dot to finish just the six
09:16shot
09:18oh yes
09:20what dexterity
09:23now
09:24does get
09:24oh
09:26embarrassment of riches
09:27though
09:27having to decide
09:29all
09:30layers of batting at the moment
09:32that'll help
09:34will it
09:35will it
09:35will it
09:36no
09:37yes it will
09:45nobody's gonna catch that
09:46it's out of there
09:48yeah
09:51oh
09:52the current
09:56nice
09:57oh
09:58that's beautiful
09:59Rinku Singh
10:00with a wand
10:05how many of these blokes fear failure now
10:08probably me sitting up here watching
10:10I feel you getting
10:10ball and move the pin around
10:12here you know what you're getting
10:14every single time you come to the Wanchetti
10:16yeah
10:16you know where your scoring zones are
10:18nice straight
10:18nice straight
10:22it's a kind of crisp shot
10:24oh
10:24needed a directed
10:25he was gone
10:27and as a result
10:28they'll get two
10:32over the infield
10:34out of the boundary
10:35and he is turning it on now
10:37he started slowly
10:38that phase that you were
10:42he can't
10:43because Rinku Singh
10:44as
10:44Shardul Thakur finishes
10:46two overs that count now
10:50starts off
10:51with a boundary
10:56and a 50 partnership comes up in
11:01keeps it down to a single
11:09so just missed the first ball
11:11and then only four of the next five
11:16we're being a wide
11:17that's four
11:17took four more
11:2050 comes up for
11:21Angakrish Raghuvanchi
11:22in fact they're checking
11:23over for KKR
11:26there's a fielder underneath
11:30and it is taken this time
11:33six
11:35so eight
11:39it's called for two
11:40I don't think he's going to get them
11:41they're going for it though
11:43they're throwing
11:44there comes the boundary
11:49much needed boundary
11:51for Rinku Singh
11:52who's playing a fine innings
11:53here 30 of 19
11:54he's got
11:55a room
11:58straight up
12:00won't get there
12:01they want two
12:08another Yorker
12:09just a single
12:12keepers in strike
12:16he's looking at the umpire
12:18saying did it go down the leg side
12:20no says the umpire
12:21that'll mean it's the end of the innings
12:23we've got a humdinger
12:24on our hands here at the
12:251k stadium
12:28224
12:29tremendous start
12:30from Ajinkya Rahane
12:32and Finn Allen
12:33then
12:33little period
12:35where the Mumbai Indians
12:36thought they might keep
12:38KKR down
12:38then that finish
12:39starting with Raghuvanchi
12:4151 of 29
12:42very powerful
12:46first runs
12:48so it didn't matter after all
12:50Roy this back in strike
12:50no Jew
12:54good ball into the pads
12:56just a little trot
12:57for a leg by
12:58somewhere as well
13:03oh dear four
13:05that is not what
13:07Kolkata night riders want
13:11it's a very good first over
13:13from Vaibhavarora
13:14it's six
13:20well not quite the covers
13:21but 180 degrees in the other direction
13:23for four
13:26yeah it's a nick that
13:30straight up I don't think he's got a lot on it
13:33but it will clear the field and clear him easily for four
13:38five
13:39five
13:41nine is still questions
13:44he's got a hold of that
13:47it's a very popular six
13:51we saw it last night when Virat
13:57I don't like four men on the leg side
13:59he's
13:59he bowls
14:03big big big big into the crowd for six
14:08he can hit the ball
14:09that was
14:13now that man might be in play
14:15no he won't be in play
14:17second
14:21space for Rohit Sharma
14:22space for the ball to vanish
14:25especially ball into these two
14:28you've got to give yourself the best chance
14:30that's smart much better
14:32again
14:35pace on pace on of the bat as well
14:40he's getting a move on now Rickleton
14:43this is really good
14:44just have one or two zones

14:59inside out
15:03and again
15:04this is exquisite timing for six
15:11now that's class
15:12at the start
15:15now he's just playing the field
15:19this is excellent batting
15:22change of angle change of shot
15:31oh and he's welcome to the crease
15:35it's a typical Rohit Sharma's shot there again
15:41he's got a look at that
15:44it's into the crowd
15:47they're leaking at the moment
15:50KKR
15:56the other one I thought they might have been able to give an opportunity to
16:03see
16:03this is a magnificent half century from Rohit Sharma
16:10Rohit on fire at the moment
16:14see targeting the stumps
16:18that's one of his great strengths
16:21this is where

16:52yes giving himself a little bit of room
16:59so eight runs of the over
17:01so eight runs of the over
17:07it's in the air for a long time
17:09but the fielder will
17:10miss it by about a yard or so
17:12yard or a couple of yards
17:14hundred comes up
17:16KP if you could
17:17as soon as this ball is done

17:44Cameron Green will go around and pick it up
17:47they'll come back for two

17:56I just like the way
18:01oh finds the gap
18:02that'll hurt
18:04always a
18:08down the wicket
18:10didn't matter what the ball was
18:12Roy Charmai made up his mind
18:13last couple of seasons with just about 400
18:17full toss
18:18the first time it makes contact with the turf
18:21he's in the seats
18:23what a love about it
18:25he's
18:28didn't get timing on that
18:30but it'll fall in no man's land
18:32no it won't
18:35now last year
18:39was it the first ball
18:40does it matter
18:41does it matter where the ball pitched
18:43that ball was
18:48that is a serious shot because there is a man on the boundary there
18:52at the last ball
18:54then it goes
18:59exactly what I meant
19:00there is there are two fielders inside the circle that's not stopped him
19:09another one
19:10another one
19:11that briefly interested the fielder
19:12but this time it's taken
19:13this is Rinku Singh

20:07you're saying
20:08no blessing

20:14at the moment the only one who's working hard
20:18is the fielder then

20:23that was needed
20:30he's got that square
