Mumbai Indians delivered a commanding performance in Match 12 of IPL 2025, thrashing Kolkata Knight Riders by 8 wickets at the Wankhede Stadium. With both bat and ball, MI outclassed the defending champions, making light work of a modest target.
The highlight of the match was an outstanding debut by uncapped bowler Ashwani Kumar, who tore through KKR’s batting lineup with impressive figures of 4/24 in just three overs. He was well supported by Trent Boult, Deepak Chahar, Vignesh Puthur, and Mitchell Santner, as Mumbai restricted KKR to a paltry 116 runs in the first innings. The chase was a mere formality for MI, who comfortably sealed victory, further asserting their dominance in the tournament.
