Duffy
POTM
What happened
Duffy's PP triple-strike left SRH 29/3. Kishan's 80(38) hauled them to 201. RCB dismantled chase in 15.4 overs — Padikkal 61(26), Kohli 69*.
Why it happened
Hard Hazlewood-length cramped both SRH openers into top-edges. Flat Chinnaswamy left SRH bowlers with zero margin. PP 76/1 made it academic.
What it means
RCB champions without imposter syndrome. Duffy debut raises questions about Hazlewood's spot. SRH exposed without Cummins. Kohli's 64th IPL fifty.
🔑 Key Overs — Where The Match Changed
Ov 1–5
29/3
Duffy triple-strike — Head (11), Abhishek (7), Reddy (1) all fall to hard back-of-length. SRH's innings in crisis before it started.
COLLAPSE
Ov 6
+16
Kishan counter-attacks Abhinandan Singh — 6,4,6 in three balls. SRH go from 29/3 to 45/3. Kishan refuses to surrender.
COUNTER
Ov 7–13
+81
Kishan–Klaasen 97-run stand for 4th wicket. The partnership rebuilds SRH from wreckage. Klaasen 31(22), Kishan accelerates to 50 off 31 balls.
REBUILD
Ov 19
+26
Aniket Verma blitz — 26 off 9 balls (3×4, 3×6) in ov 17–19. Pushes SRH past 200 from 174/8. Without this, SRH finish ~185.
BLITZ
Ov 7–8
+34
Padikkal counter-attack (RCB chase) — 34 off 10 balls including six over cover off Payne. PP ends 76/1. Chase effectively over.
BLITZ
Ov 12
163/4
Payne double-strike — Patidar (31) and Jitesh (0) fall in consecutive balls. Ov 12.2–12.3. Brief SRH hope. Kohli and David shut the door.

POTM
What happened
Shardul 3/39 kept KKR to 220 on a grassy Wankhede. Rohit 78(38) and Rickelton 81(43) then put on 148 for the first wicket. MI cruised to their highest ever IPL chase.
Why it happened
KKR's bowling was threadbare — Arora, Muzarabani toothless, Chakravarthy ineffective, Narine a shadow. Bumrah conceded just 35 in 4 overs keeping KKR under 230.
What it means
MI look ominous. Rohit wound back the clock. Rickelton is a serious player. KKR's lack of bowling depth is alarming — Green still not bowling and Harshit Rana injured.
🔑 Key Overs — Where The Match Changed
Ov 1–6
69/1
KKR powerplay — Allen 37(17) and Rahane going hard. Strong platform but Shardul strikes to remove Allen.
POWER
Ov 8.5
109/2
Shardul removes Green cheaply (18 off 10). KKR lose shape briefly before Raghuvanshi rescues with 51(29).
WICKET
Ov 1–6
87/0
MI powerplay — Rohit and Rickelton brutal from ball one. 87 without loss. Chase effectively done in the PP.
DOMINANT
Ov 11.5
148/1
Rohit out for 78(38) — but MI are 3 runs ahead of KKR's score at same point. Chase already in MI's pocket.
