Pat Cummins equals record for fastest IPL 50 as Kolkata Knight Riders beat Mumbai Indians by 5 Wickets

Top tennis player Pat Cummins starred with the batman like never before, equaling the record for fastest fifty in the IPL, including a 35-game pass, as the Kolkata Knight Riders crushed the Mumbai Indians by five hit on Wednesday. Cummins moved ahead to his 50 in just 14 balls, with KL Rahul at the top of the leaderboard, while opener Venkatesh Iyer beat innings for his undefeated 41-ball 50, when KKR completes 162 chases with at most four to spare.

It was unbelievable from Cummins that KKR, needed 35 from 30 balls, got it all in just six serves with the Australian Test captain hitting six sixs and four in his 15 56 balls. .

It was Daniel Sams who bore the brunt of Cummins’ onslaught, conceding 35 runs in the 16th round, helping KKR make their mark.

Along with Iyer, Cummins, who came in sixth, shared 61 runs in just 2.1 laps to overhaul MI’s 161 total for four.

MI, therefore, fell to its third defeat in as many games.

KKR started with sedation scoring 16 in the first four passes. Goals from Ajinkya Rahane and captain Shreyas Iyer made life difficult for KKR as they dropped to 35th place for two goals in the sixth inning.

Sam Billings made 17 12 balls before being disqualified by Murugan Ashwin.

On the other hand, Iyer started his business on his own terms and kept the transcripts positive.

While Iyer stood firm at one end, backswepts continuously messed up from the other as Nitish Rana failed again, being caught by Sams other than Ashwin in deep midwicket.

Andre Russell played a five-ball 11 times before he stuck Iyer, getting ahead on a short Tymal Mills serve to Dewald Brevis.

Cummins then attacked his opponent and hit Mills for the touchline and six balls in a row.

Conceding 23 times in the final as MI beat, Cummins dressed MI pitchers in all parts of the ground to take KKR home in a grand manner.

Prior to that, veteran Kieron Pollard added to Suryakumar Yadav’s rapid growth of half a century by amassing the last 23 runs to boost MI after KKR kept things tight in a major section of the series. their match.

After the fourth match at 83 between Suryakumar Yadav (52) and Tilak Varma (38 not out), Pollard (22 not out) defeated the world’s top fast bowler Pat Cummins in three rounds of six to end MI’s round on top.

Choosing to hit the first ball on the new grassy pitch, KKR’s opening pitchers used the conditions to perfection as player caught up with Umesh Yadav (1/25) and debutant Rasikh Salam ( 0/18) relied on long serves to make it difficult for MI’s opening duo. by captains Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan.

Umesh and Cummins (2/49) pick early spots to reduce MI to 55 for three.

Umesh looked the more menacing of the two as he repeatedly experimented with high-end MI openers with his probe lengths, creating a great first match that yielded only one run.

Salam tried to compare with his senior experts.

Umesh hit the blood first in the third round with a long serve to get Rohit for the fifth time in the IPL, with the MI captain failing to control a pull.

Then another newcomer was Dewald Brevis (29 years old), known as ‘Baby AB’ for his 360 degree shooting, and he managed to hit the KKR archers.

He succeeded in his attempt for a short period of time, hitting two hits and several rounds of six, but was again defeated by Varun Chakravarthy (1/32).

Meanwhile, MI’s Ishan Kishan (14 years 21) was a quiet spectator on the other end.

Unlike the previous two rounds, Kishan seemed to have struggled from the start and the poor start didn’t help him either.

Kishan’s struggle ended in the 11th round when he mistook Cummins for KKR captain Shreyas Iyer.

Varma paid off in season 13 when Ajinkya Rahane stoned him after a mistake with Billings.

Yadav hit a huge four and a six in the last two serves of the same turn to fuel the MI rounds.

Varma grabbed the missed opportunity with both hands and hurled Cummins over his good leg to the max then followed it with a slash to the center of the frame to get past Chakravarthy.
