Mumbai Indians Crush Kolkata Knight Riders by 8 Wickets at Wankhede
Mumbai Indians (MI) registered their first win of IPL 2025 with a dominant performance against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Wankhede Stadium. Opting to bowl first after winning the toss, MI capitalized on the grassy pitch, restricting KKR to just 116 in 16.2 overs, thanks to a dream debut by Ashwani Kumar, who claimed 4 wickets.
In response, MI chased down the target effortlessly, reaching 121/2 in just 12.5 overs. Ryan Rickelton anchored the innings with a brilliant 62 off 47 balls*, while Suryakumar Yadav provided the finishing touches with an explosive 27 off 9 balls.
Key Highlights:
Ashwani Kumar’s Historic Debut: The 23-year-old left-arm pacer became the first Indian to take a four-wicket haul on IPL debut. His spell dismantled KKR’s batting lineup and set the tone for MI’s victory.
KKR’s Batting Collapse: Despite a few quickfire knocks, KKR failed to build partnerships, losing four wickets in the powerplay and never recovering.
MI’s Commanding Chase: Rickelton’s well-paced knock, supported by Suryakumar’s fireworks, ensured an easy chase, helping MI bounce back from two consecutive defeats.
Post-Match Reactions:
Ashwani Kumar (POTM): “It’s a huge moment for me to make my debut and win the Player of the Match award. Coming from Mohali, this has been a dream. There was some nervousness, but I was confident in my skills. I’ll keep working hard to make my people proud.”
Hardik Pandya (MI Captain): “Super satisfying to win at home! Everyone contributed, and we executed our plans well. Ashwani was exceptional—credit to our scouting team for finding such talent. His swing, pace, and composure were outstanding.”
Ajinkya Rahane (KKR Captain): “A collective failure with the bat. The pitch was good, and 180-190 would have been a competitive score. Losing four wickets early made things tough, and we couldn’t recover. We have to learn from this quickly.” Match-12|KKR VS MI|MI Won the Match
