IPL ROUND-UP
MUMBAI Indians surged into the IPL play-off places after teenage sensation Ishan Kishan smashed a 17- ball fifty in a crushing 102-run victory over Kolkata Knight Riders on Wednesday.
The 19-year-old hit the joint-second fastest half-century of the tournament so far as he propelled Mumbai to 201-6 with an innings that included five fours and six sixes at Eden Gardens.
Kishan eventually fell for 62 off 21 balls attempting to hit his fourth successive six off Kuldeep Yadav, while Suryakumar Yadav and Rohit Sharma also chipped in with 36 runs apiece.
