Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders LIVE Scorecard, IPL 2025 LIVE: Rohit Sharma Flops Once Again, Dismissed Cheaply For MI Against KKR

MI vs KKR LIVE: Rohit OUT!

And Andre Russell strikes! Rohit Sharma is gone, he’s failed to fire once more. Top edge, mistimes the hit, and finds the safe hands of Harshit Rana at mid-off. First wicket for KKR, and they need a lot more.

KKR 46/1 (5.2)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Russell handed the ball

Andre Russell handed the ball in the powerplay, and he’s bowled a no-ball on his very first delivery! Rickelton fails to connect on the free-hit delivery though.

KKR 46/0 (5.1)

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: Chakravarthy into the attack

Varun Chakravarthy has been brought into the attack to try and make a difference. So often Rohit Sharma’s go-to man at a critical situation during the Champions Trophy, now Varun must find a way to get his national team captain out!

MI 43/0 (4.3)

MI vs KKR LIVE: 4 more, Rickelton!

Ryan Rickelton is on a roll now. Low full toss and slapped past mid-off for the third boundary off the over. Harshit Rana losing his line and length, and Rickelton taking full advantage. Mumbai Indians are now going at 10.50 runs per over.

MI 42/0 (4)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Slammed for 4!

Harshit Rana giving up a bit of an LBW worry on the first ball, but Rickelton gives a sharp answer back! Cracks it down the ground for a boundary on the second ball. Third one, hooked for 6! Second tier of the Wankhede!

MI 38/0 (3.3)

MI vs KKR LIVE: 13 off the over

KKR have failed to get the early wickets that they desperately needed. 13 comes off Spencer Johnson’s second over, even though he is bowling well. Luck also going MI’s way in these early overs. 

MI 28/0 (3)

MI vs KKR LIVE: 4 and 6 – Rickelton!

Finally, Ryan Rickelton is able to get some runs off Spencer Johnson. Pitched fuller and on the stumps, Rickelton whacks and it goes towards fine-leg for 4. Next ball, pitched short, top edge but still goes for 6! 

MI 27/0 (2.3)

MI vs KKR LIVE: No-ball, SIX!

Harshit Rana oversteps! He’s been bowling well, but MI have got the reprieve now due to the no-ball. Free-hit, Rohit on strike, full toss and he pummels it for SIX! MI were slightly under pressure, but that has helped them release it.

MI 15/0 (2)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Top stuff Rana!

Now Harshit Rana! Excellent inswing, passes between Rohit’s bat and pad, and how has that not hit the stumps? Tantalisingly close, and the KKR pacers have some momentum early on. Important for MI to survive this phase.

MI 1/0 (1.1)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Good start by Johnson

Rickelton finally gets bat on ball in the final delivery of the over, but this is a good start by Spencer Johnson. KKR need wickets early on, and the ball seems to be swinging and providing some help to the seamers.

MI 1/0 (1)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Great ball by Johnson!

Oh, that nipped back in beautifully! Sharp inswinger, even seemed like it took an edge. Spencer Johnson troubling Ryan Rickelton early on, who hasn’t yet got bat on ball. KKR need a couple of wickets very early on.

MI 1/0 (0.5)

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: Spencer Johnson to open the bowling

Spencer Johnson will start off things for Kolkata Knight Riders. No unique strategy just yet from Ajinkya Rahane. The men in purple are defending only 116, and will need a miracle to win today. Rohit Sharma to face the first ball.

MI vs KKR LIVE: KKR need an out-of-the-box strategy

Surely KKR need to think out of the box! Hand the ball to Narine or Chakravarthy right away? They have nothing to lose either way, and might go for a gamble early on. It is Rickelton opening with Rohit. 

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: Should be a breeze

It is quite certain that Rohit Sharma will open for Mumbai Indians. But will it be Ryan Rickelton or Will Jacks alongside? Remains to be seen. Either way, this should be an easy run chase and a big NRR boost for MI.

MI vs KKR LIVE: Take a bow, Ashwini Kumar

The best figures by an Indian bowler on IPL debut! 4/24 in 3 overs for Ashwani Kumar, truly, truly special. Bowled a very good length, switched it up, showed variations and put in a superb disciplined spell.

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: KKR ALL OUT

KKR ALL OUT! Ramandeep Singh hit a six on the first ball, tries to go big again, but miscues this one. Straight to Hardik Pandya at third man. A scintillating bowling performance by MI, a rash batting display by the Knight Riders.

KKR 116 all out (16.2)

MI Target: 117

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: 4 overs to go

KKR survive Trent Boult’s over. Ramandeep Singh will be on strike for the next over. He is on 16 runs off 10 balls, and if he can give a few big hits to end, it will be a big morale boost for KKR heading into the next innings.

KKR 110/9 (16)

MI vs KKR LIVE: SIX!

Ramandeep Singh has got two lifelines. He was dropped by Ashwani Kumar in the previous over, and then MI messed up a run out chance. And he makes them pay with a big hit for 6. Crucial for him to help KKR bat out 20 overs here.

KKR 109/9 (15.2)

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: 5 overs to go, Rohit enters

Trent Boult is back into the attack to try and finish things. One more wicket left for MI to get. Rohit Sharma now enters the field as an impact sub, in place of Vignesh Puthur. He is expected to open alongside Rickelton or Jacks.

KKR 101/9 (15)

MI vs KKR LIVE: 100 up

100 up for Kolkata Knight Riders. They’ve somehow got there. They still have a batter at the crease, in the form of Ramandeep Singh. Priority for them would be to bat out 20 overs, and see how much they can put on to defend.

KKR 100/9 (14.4)

MI vs KKR LIVE: OUT!

Harshit Rana departs! Vignesh Puthur gets a wicket now. Rana went for the slog sweep, but has to walk back because of a great diving catch by Naman Dhir. Will KKR manage to cross 100?

KKR 99/9 (14.3)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Ashwani is everywhere!

Ashwani Kumar is having the debut of all debuts. Now he is out in the field, stopping a boundary at third man. Incredible work at the boundary, and saves one run. Harshit Rana and Ramandeep Singh run three. 

KKR 93/8 (13.2)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Ashwani has 4!!!

Is this real? Wow. Absolutely incredible scenes. Ashwani Kumar is having the game of his life, and this could be a life-changing game for the left-arm pacer. FOUR WICKETS. Andre Russell, clean bowled! KKR are 8-down.

KKR 88/8 (12.4)

MI vs KKR LIVE: 4, Russell!

Andre Russell has hammered that one! Pitched short by Ashwani, and drilled through extra cover for 4 by Russell. KKR nearing the 100-run total, and all the burden is on the shoulders of their legendary all-rounder.

KKR 88/7 (12.1)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Russell survives thanks to DRS

Andre Russell misses Mitch Santner’s delivery completely, and the umpire gives out LBW. The big Jamaican reviews straight away, and hawkeye shows the ball missing the stumps, going too high. KKR’s talisman survives.

KKR 80/7 (11.1)

MI vs KKR LIVE: GONE! Ashwani has 3!

Incredible. Incredible scenes. Kolkata Knight Riders are in tatters. Manish Pandey departs. Played on onto his stumps by Pandey. Ashwani Kumar has three wickets on IPL debut! KKR are 7-down inside 11 overs.

KKR 80/7 (11)

MI vs KKR LIVE: ASHWANI STRIKES AGAIN!

Rinku Singh is gone! Ashwani Kumar has two on debut! Outstanding move by Mumbai Indians, and Rinku fails to score big yet again. Incredible stuff. Right after hitting a boundary, Rinku tries to go big again and finds the fielder at deep point. Slams his bat to the ground in fury.

IPL 2025 LIVE: End of 10 overs

10 overs done. It has been all Mumbai Indians for now. KKR still have two quality batters at the crease, and two more to come. But MI firmly on top. Nearly every bowler has delivered the goods today.

KKR 69/5 (10)

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: Hardik into the attack

MI captain Hardik Pandya now takes up the ball. Bowls a solid over, conceding just a single boundary and only six runs in total. KKR still pinning their hopes on Pandey and Rinku to bail them out of trouble.

KKR 65/5 (9)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Eerie similarity to 2024!

When these two sides faced off at the Wankhede in IPL 2024, KKR batted first and were down at 57/5 after six overs. Manish Pandey was sent out to bat as an Impact Sub, and helped KKR rebuilt to 169.

KKR eventually won by 24 runs! So don’t write them off just yet.

KKR 61/5 (8.2)

MI vs KKR LIVE: 6 more, Rinku!

Rinku Singh now goes big. First six for the left-hander. Second one off Vignesh Puthur. KKR need these two to build a very big partnership to have any hopes of a decent total.

KKR 59/5 (8)

MI vs KKR, IPL 2025 LIVE: KKR make Impact Sub!

Kolkata Knight Riders have had no choice but to bring on impact sub Manish Pandey! Another batter sent up the order, and he’s off the mark with a 6! Vignesh Puthur into the attack, Pandey gives himself room and sends it a mile over deep mid-wicket.

MI vs KKR LIVE: Raghuvanshi GONE!

Another one bites the dust! KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS ARE 5-DOWN. Incredible scenes, what is going on!?!? Angkrish Raghvanshi gets no timing, and sends it straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket. Hardik Pandya chips in with a cheeky ‘bye-bye’ send-off.

KKR 45/5 (7)

MI vs KKR LIVE: What a powerplay for MI

Two games, two defeats, and MI have come out the blocks at their home stadium roaring against the defending champions. 41 runs, 4 wickets in the powerplay. Incredible bowling by MI, poor shot selection by KKR players too.

KKR 41/4 (6)

IPL 2025 LIVE: VENKATESH GONE!

Venkatesh Iyer is gone! Deepak Chahar strikes! KKR are 4-down, this is absolutely insane. Great short delivery by Chahar, Venkatesh tries an awkward upper cut and sends it straight to Ryan Rickelton behind the stumps. Uncomfortable throughout, and departs now.

KKR 41/4 (5.3)

MI vs KKR LIVE: 4, Raghuvanshi!

Glorious timing. Fitting straight drive on the ground where Sachin Tendulkar made his mark. Chahar puts it full, and Raghuvanshi slaps it back down the ground. So classy. He is doing really well here.

KKR 40/3 (5.1)

MI vs KKR LIVE: PUT DOWN!

Ashwani Kumar has dropped Venkatesh Iyer! Lousy shot, flew straight to Ashwani at third man but he’s put it down. He would hope that this does not come back to cost MI. For now, MI still on the front foot.

KKR 36/3 (5)

MI vs KKR LIVE: Pressure on Venkatesh Iyer

Venkatesh Iyer was paid the big bucks by KKR at the mega auction, and now is the time to prove the value. Rs 23.75 crore-man, hasn’t had much of a chance to bat so far in IPL 2025. This is a ground where he has a superb record, don’t forget.

KKR 34/3 (4.3)
