KKR 34-0 (3 ovs) vs Mumbai | Scorecard

The dangerous duo of Gambhir and Chris Lynn to open the batting for KKR, while Lasith Malinga gets the ball straightaway in his first match of the new IPL season.

Gambhir taps the first ball, which is a quick yorker, on the off-side for a single to get off the mark before Malinga bowls a leg side wide to right-hander Lynn.

Another full delivery which Lynn drives to the covers for a single and Gambhir picks one.

Malinga bowls a wide as he misses his radar with the slower ball to Lynn, who smashes the next ball straight down the ground for a four. He drives the last ball through the covers where the fielder does well to stop it and concede just a single as 10 come from the first over.

Left-arm pacer Mitchell McClenaghan to bowl the second over. The second ball is short and down the leg side as Lynn helps it fine on the leg side for a four. Two balls later, he picks a single before Gambhir slaps the last ball through the covers for the second boundary of the over.

Just one over with the new ball for Malinga before he makes way for Jasprit Bumrah. He starts with a yorker which Lynn defends before he defends a slower ball.

Bumrah then bowls a no-ball as Lynn taps it to fine leg for one but Gambhir can manage only a couple of the free-hit delivery, as he flicks it to deep midwicket.

Bumrah bowls another no-ball as he bowls a high full toss to Lynn who picks a single to the covers. This time Gambhir makes most of the free hit, smashing it past point for a four and then steers the last ball fine on the off-side for the third boundary of the over.

Bumrah is smashed for 15 runs from his opening over as KKR race to 34 for no loss in three overs.
