IPL 2023 Orange Cap and Purple Cap standings after Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders match (Updated)

The 22nd match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) saw the Mumbai Indians (MI) take on the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, April 16.

MI stand-in skipper Suryakumar Yadav led the side in the absence of Rohit Sharma, who could only make it to the list of substitutes due to an apparent stomach bug. MI won the toss and elected to bowl first in the afternoon encounter.

KKR's opening woes continued as Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Narayan Jagadeesan were dismissed early. Venkatesh Iyer got into the act and dealt in boundaries to spruce up the run rate. He eventually became only the second batter after Brendon McCullum to score an IPL hundred for KKR.

The two-time winners lost momentum towards the end of their innings and set MI a target of 186.

Rohit Sharma came in as an impact player for MI and along with Ishan Kishan, got the team off to a flying start in the run chase. The home side scored 72 runs in the powerplay, with Kishan scoring the bulk of the runs en route to his half-century.

Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma steered the run chase comfortably in the middle overs, with the former playing some eye-catchy strokes. Tim David applied the finishing touches to steer MI to a win with over two overs to spare.
