Mumbai 83-1 (8 ovs) vs KKR

Medium pacer Andre Russell is introduced into the attack as he replaces Cummins, who went for runs in his first over.

Yadav steers the first ball down to thirdman for a single before Rohit takes toll of the short ball and pulls it over square leg for a four.

Russell fails to learn from his mistake as he drops short again and this time Rohit swings it over midwicket for a big six and drives the last ball through the covers for two runs as MI continue to build their total.

A desperate KKR introduce left-arm spinner Kuldeep Yadav to make a breakthrough and check Mumbai's charge.

Four singles from the first four balls before Yadav comes down and plays the inside out shot to perfection for a six over the covers. He has been on the rampage right from the start, racing to 38 from 17 balls, for a strike rate of more than 200.

Not a good start for Kuldeep as he goes for 11 runs in his first over.

Mumbai have laid a solid foundation as they reach 83-1 in eight overs, with Rohit smashing 41 from 27 balls and Yadav hitting 39 from 18 balls.
