Kolkata Knight Riders losses match against Mumbai Indians

Kolkata Knight Riders batsman Chris Lynn said his team was 15 runs short and paid for not taking advantage of boisterous start given by its openers in the lost game against Mumbai Indians.

“I think, first probably we were 15 (runs) short with the bat and like we got off to a great start, didn’t really capitalise on the platform,” Lynn said in the post-match press conference.

But Lynn said the team will bounce back.

After putting 174 on the board, KKR lost by 6 wickets to Mumbai due to some hard hitting done by West Indian Kieron Pollard who hit 6 towering sixes in his unbeaten knock of 51. “…we did not execute our skill whether that is spin bowling or the pace, but I thought our fielding was outstanding,” he said.

Lynn added every time he has played against Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma, the opener has done well. “He (Rohit) has done well against KKR, we have to look really hard and try and knock him over early, he never panics at any stage which a good batsman (does) as you have seen with Virat (Kohli),”
