MI vs KKR IPL 2025: Mumbai Indians roared back to form with a thumping 8-wicket win over Kolkata Knight Riders at Wankhede Stadium, chasing down a mere 117 in just 12.5 overs! Hardik Pandya’s men put on a dominant show, jumping to sixth in the IPL 2025 points table with a +0.309 NRR, while KKR’s title defense took a serious hit, sinking to the bottom with a -1.426 NRR.
Ryan Rickelton stole the show with a fiery knock, while debutant Ashwani made an instant impact, making MI’s victory look effortless. After struggling in earlier matches, Mumbai finally clicked as a unit, erasing doubts with a clinical performance. Their batting had faltered against CSK and GT, but this time, they made no mistake, steamrolling the opposition.
For Kolkata, things are going from bad to worse. Ajinkya Rahane’s captaincy has faced criticism, though he showed tactical improvement against the Royals. Their spinners—Varun Chakaravarthy and Sunil Narine—are doing their job, but the pacers are struggling. The batting lineup remains unreliable, failing to back up Rahane’s earlier half-century against RCB. With momentum slipping away, KKR desperately needs to turn things around before it’s too late!
