IPL 9 2016 Gautam Gambhir 59 runs of 45 balls Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders Innings Highlights
Kolkata were off to a flier as they raced to 50 inside the Powerplay. But after the fielding restrictions were removed, the run rate dipped and the batsmen struggled to get boundaries. The pressure told on Uthappa who lost his wicket. Gambhir tried to up the ante but he too fell to the clever wily bowling. Once he went, the visiting side could not get any momentum.

Kolkata finish on 174/5. A decent batting display from Kolkata, though, they were aided a lot by Mumbai. Mitchell McClenaghan set the tone early for bad fielding, as he dropped a sitter of Gambhir when he was on 8. Parthiv Patel then missed an easy stumping chance of Uthappa and there were plenty of poor ground fielding attempts as well. But the bowlers did their job and hung around for the breakthrough, even when Gambhir and Uthappa were toying around.
Not quite sure whether this would be a good score. Traditionally, Wankhede has seen scores in excess of 180 but tonight's pitch seems to be on the slower side. But with the dew coming into play, the bowlers would not find it easy.
Mumbai came back really well after the Powerplay, going for just 67 in overs 7-15, before going for 48 in the final 5. No bowler was outstanding though they might have had a different outcome had the catches been taken. They will feel that they can chase it down but it won't be easy.
