In addition, Rahul Tripathi played 53 runs with 29 goals and had 93 runs with Nitish Rana for the second wicket, which gave them a good result.

Later, Andre Russell and captain Eoin Morgan questioned the success of the team with their play, but ex-KKR captain Dinesh Karthik was able to turn the tide of the game, knock of 22 not out off 9 balls.

Sunil Narine did not join KKR for the first game, butVarun Chakravarty, Harbhajan Singh and Shakib Al Hasan were in the game. After a long break (from the final of the IPL 2019), Harbhajan returned to the game, who, however, did not particularly delight the KKR fans by making only one over, in which conceded eight runs, including a sixer.

Mumbai Indians

The winners of the last 2 seasons of the IPL Mumbai Indians, lost their first match to the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), which did not allow their opponents to snatch the victory in the match. Despite the fact that they fought valiantly, their defeat in the first game did not come as a big surprise, since this trend has continued for 9 consecutive seasons - the team consistently loses in the first matches.

Despite a good start, captain Rohit Sharma still failed to lead his team to victory in the first match of the 2021 season. Australian cricketer Chris Lynn made his long-awaited debut while South African cricketer Quinton de Kock was forced to miss the match due to quarantine. Lynn struggled desperately, managed to score 49 shots with 35 goals, of which he made 4 fours and 3 good sixes.

Suryakumar Yadav (31) and Ishan Kishan (28) were forced into the bench as the Mumbai Indians only managed 159/9 in the first innings and Harshal Patel's brilliant performance further limited the team's action.

Bowlers Jasprit Bumra (2/26), IPL debutant Marco Jansen (2/28) and Krunal Pandya (1/25) had excellent ball control. While Rahula Chahara became the anti-hero of the match as his bowling record was 4-0-43-0.

Full Squad:

Rohit Sharma (C), Quinton de Kock, Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, Chris Lynn, Amolpreet Singh, Saurabh Tiwary, Aditya Tare, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, Krunal Pandya, Anukul Roy, Jasprit Bumrah, Trent Boult, Rahul Chahar, Jayant Yadav, Dhawal Kulkarni, Mohsin Khan, Adam Milne, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Piyush Chawla, James Neesham, Yudhvir Singh, Marco Jansen, Arjun Tendulkar.
