KKR vs MI highlights Hotstar: Yesterday IPL match Pat Cummins batting score

KKR vs MI highlights: The Australian Test captain commenced his Indian Premier League 2022 campaign with proper fireworks.

If given a prediction poll before the Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians Indian Premier League 2022 match in Pune, fans would’ve voted for anything but fast bowler Pat Cummins registering the joint-fastest half-century in the history of the tournament.

No slouch with the bat in hand, Cummins did have a couple of IPL half-centuries under his belt before this match. However, him commencing his sixth IPL season (fifth at KKR) with anything but a performance like his was beyond expectations.

Coming in to bat at No. 7 in the 14th over of a 162-run chase, Cummins smashed MI’s bowlers to race his way to 56* (15) with the help of four fours and six sixes as KKR won the match in 16 overs.
