Pat Cummins stuns MI with his blistering knock for KKR in IPL
Mumbai/IBNS: Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians were left shell shocked when Australian captain Pat Cummins pulled off a stunning victory by five wickets for Kolkata Knight Riders with his blistering knock of unbeaten 56 off just 15 balls in almost no time.
Chasing a target of 162, Kolkata, like every other game, found little support from the top and middle orders losing wickets at regular intervals.
When Cummins came out to bat, Mumbai were falling heavy on Kolkata, who were reduced to 101/5 in 13.1 overs.
After picking two wickets during Mumbai innings, the Aussie bowler decided to deal with Sharma's bowlers only with fours and sixes.
Pat Cummins finishes things off in style!
