1.1 straight to mid off, and the Mumbai Indians are all over the Kolkata Knight Riders like a rash! No real swing, and this pitches on a length outside off. de Kock looks to go downtown but does not get under it enough. Was never trying to keep it down and Ashwani leaps up into the air to take it with both hands above his head. Chahar is delighted, MI are delighted, and thousands of fans in blue are delighted too. KKR under early strife! 2/2

0.4 Boult smashes middle stump and Narine is outta here early! This is a sizzling delivery. Out-swinging and right in the blockhole. Starts on leg or perhaps just outside and then curves out towards the target. Narine, giving himself room, gets nowhere close to the ball and sees the bails flying everywhere soon after. Another first-over wicket for Boult, and MI are on the board early! 1/1

3.1 and he gets a wicket off his first ball! The outcome of his dreams! This is full and wide, angling across Rahane. He throws his hands at it and slices it towards deep backward point. Tilak settles under it and nearly takes a mess of it. But thankfully for him, the bobble off his first attempt bounces up high enough to allow him to recover. He then shows exemplary reflexes to gobble it up one-handed, and Ashwani gets mobbed by his teammates! The KKR skipper has to go, and Mumbai are overjoyed! 25/3

6.6 Hardik Pandya brings the Wankhede Stadium to its feet, and KKR sink further into trouble! Badgers that shortish length outside off, daring Raghuvanshi to pull it away. He tries but fails, quite comfortably, it must be added. Wanted to hit it well in front of square but all he could do was find Dhir, running around from deep square leg. KKR five down, and in a whole heap of trouble! 45/5

5.4 nicked and gone! Chahar into the act again, and there will be no Venkatesh Iyer heroics tonight against MI! This is on the shorter side, pitching just outside off and then nipping back in. Venkatesh, tentatively, tries to upper-cut it but the inward movement means he gets cramped for room. Glides it straight through to Rickelton in the end, and KKR have lost four in the powerplay! 41/4

10.3 Ashwani has another, and this IPL debut just got a whole lot better for the youngster from Punjab! Banged in shorter and perhaps a touch wider than the previous ball. Rinku tries to repeat the dose but slices across this way too much. Arrows it towards Dhir, who moves around to his right at deep point and completes the catch with minimal fuss. Rinku is livid with himself, but nothing he can do about it now. KKR slide into further trouble! 74/6

10.6 oh my word - what an absolute pearler, and this is a debut right out of storybook fantasy for Ashwani! Back of a length on leg stump and Pandey, perhaps expecting another short ball, is caught on the crease. The ball skids off the surface, cuts Pandey in half and then pin-balls off his pad to hit the top of leg stump. Beautiful, beautiful bowling, and KKR are spiraling! 80/7

12.4 Ashwani has four, would you believe it, and Dre Russ is his latest prey! An astonishing debut, and what an amazing display by the youngster! He set Russell up with the short ball and now goes full. Russell has a wild slog across the line and only swats away a few flies, with the ball thundering into middle stump. KKR are tottering, and Ashwani is having the night of his life in front of thousands at the Wankhede! 88/8

16.2 beautifully bowled, and that will be that for KKR with the bat tonight! Ramandeep is the last batter to fall, and Santner is the last to get among the wickets for the hosts! Tosses this one up generously on a length outside off. Plenty of revs on this and the ball drops and dips on Ramandeep late. He has a massive swish at it but is nowhere close to the pitch of the ball, meaning he slices it. Hardik does the rest at short third, and MI have rolled KKR over for 116! 116/10

14.3 stunning grab on the fence, and Vignesh Puthur has a wicket too! Dangles the carrot outside off and asks Rana to fetch it. He takes up the challenge but does not succeed. Drags it flat towards deep mid wicket, where Dhir charges in and then swoops forward to snare the chance. Excellent work in the field, and Hardik, along with each of his teammates and thousands at the ground, are over the moon! 99/9

5.2 soft, soft dismissal, and that is the first time Russell has gotten the better of Rohit in a T20! Dug into the track outside off and this gets big on Rohit as he tries to flat-bat it over the ring. Right off the bottom of the bat and Rana does the rest at mid off. Rohit, after a slightly scratchy stay, departs, and MI lose their first wicket! 46/1

10.4 sharp snare by Rahane, and Jacks has to go! Off-pace on a length outside off. Jacks tries to drive on the up but cannot keep it down. HIts it in the air towards extra cover, where Rahane snaps down low to his right and makes a tough catch look very effortless. Jacks shakes his head as he walks back, and Russell has two! 91/2
