The 15th IPL season is underway in India. The 14th league match of the season was played at the Pune Stadium yesterday. Mumbai Indians and Kolkata Knight Riders clashed. Kolkata won the toss and elected to field. Mumbai lost their first two matches and lost this match as well.

Stumbling Kolkata

Pat Cummins' Action

Kolkata, who set a target of 162, stumbled early in the innings. But the team's opening batsman Venkatesh Iyer stood firm. Pat Cummins, the team's fast bowler, came in after 5 wickets for 101 runs and hit 56 off 15 balls (4 fours and 6 sixes) to lead the team to victory in 16 overs. Cummins scored 35 in the only over bowled by Daniel Sams. 

Shocked Shreyas Iyer

Speaking after the match, KKR captain Shreyas said, "Extraordinary! I couldn't believe the way he (Cummins) was hitting the ball. Because yesterday in the nets, he was getting bowled now and then, I was batting in the nets beside him then."
