Kolkata Knight Riders on Tuesday witnessed a defeat against Mumbai Indians by 10 runs. Fans were gutted that KKR lost and co-owner Shah Rukh Khan was disappointed by the performance too.
Even after MI got the wicket of Rana, who scored a fiery 57 off 47 balls, the whole world still saw KKR winning easy with only 31 runs to make off 30 balls but that is not what happened. Skipper Eoin Morgan, power-hitter Andre Russell, Pat Cummins and Shakib Al Hasan got out scoring less than 10 runs each, adding pressure down the batting order.
