MI vs KKR IPL 2024 Stat Highlights: Resilient Kolkata Knight Riders Re-Writes Records After Victory Against Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium After Twelve Years

 Venkatesh Iyer's brilliant fighting half-century topped a similar effort by Suryakumar Yadav as Mitchell Star's four-fer helped Kolkata Knight Riders beat Mumbai Indians by 24 runs in a low-scoring Match 51 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024, securing their first win at the Wankhede after 2012 and second over at the iconic venue. In a match dominated by the bowlers, Venkatesh Iyer rescued KKR from a precarious 57/5 by scoring a valiant 52-ball 70 to help them reach a lowly 169. KKR's spin twins, Sunil Narine and Varun Chakravarthy, then claimed identical hauls of 4-22 in their four overs each to reduce Mumbai Indians to 61/4. MI vs KKR IPL 2024 Turning Point of the Match: Did Suryakumar Yadav’s Wicket in the Death Overs Make the Difference?
