Arjun impressed with his bowling skills as Surya Kumar Yadav gave him the first over, showing his trust in the young player.

Arjun's father, Sachin Tendulkar, must be proud of his son's performance in the IPL, and his sister Sara Tendulkar was also present to support him.

Chasing a stiff target of 186, Rohit Sharma, who came in as an impact substitute, gave Mumbai a good start with Ishan Kishan, who was the aggressor between the two. The pair added 65 runs together before Suyash Sharma removed Rohit for 20(13). Ishan also fell shortly after being cleaned up by a Varun Chakravarthy yorker for 58(25).
Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma kept Mumbai driving forward as the pair added 60 runs for the third wicket and swung the momentum in Mumbai's favour. Tim David slammed an unbeaten 24 off 13 deliveries as Mumbai completed the run chase with 2.2 overs to spare.
Earlier, Venkatesh Iyer, KKR's opener, knocked his first IPL ton, scoring 104 off 51 balls. However, KKR struggled in the death overs and could only manage to accumulate 45 runs in the final five overs.
