20201016 IPL match 32 — Rohit Sharma and Mumbai Indians went into their match against Kolkata Knight Riders with one eye on retaking top spot in the points table from Delhi Capitals.

20201016 Rahul Chahar — Dinesh Karthik gave up the KKR captaincy so he could focus on his batting for the team - I don't think four runs before Rahul Chahar took him out was what they had in mind. Image Credit: Sportzpics for BCCI

20201016 Kolkata Knight Riders — Thankfully Pat Cummins (53) and new skipper Morgan (39) kept their cool to haul their side back from the brink of the lowest first innings score in IPL 13 and up to 148/5 after their 20 overs. Image Credit: Sportzpics for BCCI
