Spinner Varun Chakravarthy returned bowling figures of 2-17 as Kolkata Knight Riders on Saturday became the first team to qualify for IPL 2024 playoffs with an 18-run win over Mumbai Indians, with skipper Shreyas Iyer hailing his side`s `many game-changers`.
Two-time champions Kolkata posted 157-7 as Venkatesh Iyer top-scored with 42 off 21 balls after being invited to bat first at their home Eden Gardens in a rain-shortened 16-overs-a-side match. Bowlers combined to defend the total after Mumbai raced to 65-0 and Chakravarthy, a mystery spinner who was named player of the match, got the big wickets of Rohit Sharma, who made 19 after coming in as impact substitute, and skipper Hardik Pandya, who was caught out for two.
