After Kolkata Knight Riders comfortable victory against Mumbai Indians last night, we witnessed KKR moving 1 side up in the points table to 7th position whereas Mumbai Indians remained at the bottom of the table after this loss. IPL 2022 has been a nightmare for Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians as they have now lost 9 games out of 11 in this year's IPL, the most by MI in a particular season of the IPL.
As far as Kolkata Knight Riders are concerned, they keep their hopes alive for the playoffs with this win and they still have an outside chance mathematically to end the group stage with 14 points and qualify for the playoffs which seem to be very tough for them aven after winning their coming 2 IPL games.
