Rookie Venkatesh Iyer left many in awe of his talent as Kolkata Knight Riders produced a clinical performance for the second successive game since IPL’s resumption to tame the mighty Mumbai Indians by seven wickets and enter the top-four in the points table here on Thursday.
Iyer (53 off 30), playing his second IPL game, displayed his wide range of strokes alongside Rahul Tripathi (74 not out off 42 balls) to enable KKR to chase MI’s modest total of 155 for six with as many as 29 balls to spare.
