The 12th match of the Indian Premier League 2025 was one electrifying affair. Mumbai Indians (MI) took on Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Riding the waves of good crowd support, the home team put up a dominating show as the toss went in its favour and it decided to field first. The bowling unit then did a fabulous job, with Ashwani Kumar putting in a magical spell that tore apart the KKR batting line-up. He kept them to a below-par 116. MI then put their foot down and chased the target very comfortably in just 12.5 overs, courtesy the blistering knock of Ryan Rickelton that remained unbeaten. This all-round performance of MI confirmed the strength of the team as a whole, but it was Ashwani Kumar’s brilliance that shone above the rest as he was rightfully chosen as the Player of the Match for that match-changing four-wicket haul.
