#KKRvMI. T20 is not about hitting four and sixes it’s about taking one’s and two’s also in situations when you’re struggling in a match. How come these Cricketers are not learning yet???

#KKR need to arrest this phase quickly. Need more from their big players, Lynn, Uthappa and Russell

Mumbai Indians doing what they do best, turning it around in style. From being number 8 to being in the top 4, this is a remarkable effort from @mipaltan .Just the consistency to do this is amazing. KKR were clueless against Mumbai’s intensity. #KKRvMI
