(IPL) The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) were back to winning ways in the TATA Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 after defeating Mumbai Indians (MI) by 52 runs yesterday at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai.

Pat Cummins starred with a three-wicket haul which helped KKR register a comprehensive victory despite Jasprit Bumrah’s exceptional fifer in the first innings.   

Chasing 166 for victory, MI lost skipper Rohit Sharma’s wicket early in the innings after the right handed batter was caught behind off Tim Southee’s bowling.
