Kolkata Knight Riders in stunning victory

Pat Cummins said he was “more surprised” than anyone by his joint-fastest 14-ball IPL fifty that steered Kolkata Knight Riders to a stunning victory over Mumbai Indians, AFP reported.

The 28-year-old Australian Test skipper joined Venkatesh Iyer with Kolkata on 101-5 while chasing 162 and tore into the Mumbai attack with his 56 off 15 balls as the two-time champions reached their target with four overs to spare in Pune.

The left-handed Venkatesh had the best seat in the house as Cummins hit six sixes including the winning hit over the fence in a 35-run Daniel Sams over.
