Cricket News: KKR stay alive as Hardik blitzkrieg goes in vain

There was some outrageous hitting last night as the Eden Gardens, first by Andre Russell and then by Hardik Pandya. But eventually, it was the home team which won. Kolkata Knight Riders kept their campaign alive with a 34-run win over Mumbai Indians as Andre Russell, Shubman Gill and Chris Lynn fired the team to 232 for 2 at the Eden Gardens on Sunday (April 28). The visitors threatened for a while, on the back of Hardik Pandya's 34-ball 91, before they were restricted 198 for 7. With the win, KKR moved to the fifth spot but need to win both their last games to stand a chance of making the playoffs.
