In a classic encounter at the Wankhede Stadium, Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) put up a formidable total of 220/4 against Mumbai Indians in IPL 2026. Captain Ajinkya Rahane silenced his critics with a vintage knock of 67 off 40 balls, including 5 towering sixes. However, the spotlight was equally shared by young sensation Angkrish Raghuvanshi, who smashed a fiery 51 off just 29 deliveries, proving why he is highly rated in the domestic circuit.

The innings was kickstarted by Finn Allen’s explosive cameo of 37 off 17 balls, while Rinku Singh provided the finishing touch with a solid 33* off 21 balls. For Mumbai, Shardul Thakur was the standout performer with the ball, picking up 3 wickets for 39 runs, but Jasprit Bumrah remained wicketless in his four-over spell. MI now requires a record chase of 221 runs at a required rate of over 11 per over to win their opening game of the season.
