After a promising start to the season, Mumbai Indians (MI) registered their consecutive winning streak as they defeated Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) by five wickets in an IPL 2023 match at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday. Rohit Sharma, who came on as an impact substitute in the chase of 186, provided Mumbai with a strong start with Ishan Kishan being the attacking duo.
The pair put on 65 together, before Suyash Sharma removed Rohit for 20 (13). Varun Chakravarthy was dismissed for 58 (25) by a yorker and soon after that Ishan was also dismissed. Mumbai kept going ahead thanks to Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Verma, who put on 60 runs for the third wicket together to seal the win in their favour.
