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

20201016 Surya Kumar Yadav — Things got interesting when Yadav fell for only 10 runs, with Mumbai on 111-2 and needing a run a ball with a little over six overs remaining. Image Credit: Sportzpics for BCCI

20201016 Quinton de Kock — However, Hardik Pandya was the next man in and he and De Kock had Mumbai cruising to victory, with the defending champions clocking an eight-wicket victory to go top of the table on 12 points. Image Credit: Sportzpics for BCCI
