Gambhir hits fifty to put Kolkata in control

April 08, 2015 22:47

Kolkata 117-2 (14 ovs) vs Mumbai 168-3 | Scorecard

Vinay Kumar comes back for his second spell and facing him is new batsman Surya Kumar Yadav.

The Mumbai right-hander doesn't take much time to warm up. The second ball he faces he flicks it over square leg for a six to get off the mark in some style and take KKR past the 100-run mark, in the 13th over.

Gambhir gets a lifeline as Harbhajan is unable to hold on to a tough chance on his follow through and ends up deflecting it for a four. That also helps the KKR captain raise his fifty, from 39 balls to put his team in control of the run chase.

Harbhajan goes for 10 runs in his final over to finish with poor figures one for 38 in four overs.

KKR in complete control as they reach 117 for two in 14 overs, needing 52 runs from six overs for victory.

Gambhir has played a wonderful innings so far, hitting 53 from 41 balls, while Yadav has 12 from seven balls.
