Check out the best images from the IPL 2021 match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians on Tuesday (April 13).
Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) needed 31 runs off 30 deliveries in their IPL 2021 league encounter against Mumbai Indians (MI) when Dinesh Karthik walked out to bat. A fairly simple chase one would say, considering he had Shakib Al Hasan at the other end. Things turn a bit tense off the second delivery bowled by Krunal Pandya, as Shakib walks back. Not a cause of concern yet, with Windies superstar Andre Russell walking out. However, the baggage of history reared its ugly head when it mattered the most, with KKR intent on maintaining their abysmal status quo when compared to the defending champions.
