Mumbai thump KKR to go second

In the increasingly intense fight for the play-offs, Mumbai Indians joined Rajasthan Royals at No. 2 hours after the latter had broken away with a win of their own. And the win came easy against the defending champions, Kolkata Knight Riders. It was the kind of win that coaches love: almost everything went to plan. They won the toss, batted first, Sachin Tendulkar and Dinesh Karthik got them a target, and their superior attack shut Knight Riders out. Only a faulty light tower and some good fielding towards the end of Mumbai's innings posed any resistance.

Rajasthan Royals roll over Kolkata Knight Riders

JAIPUR: The unpredictability of the T20 format was once again in focus as cricket's lesser-known mortals slayed fancied faces at Sawai Mansingh Stadium on Monday.
Rahul Shukla is hardly known, Siddharth Trivedi is over the hill and Kevin Cooper is yet to make a name for himself.

Yet, when they checkmate players like Jacques Kallis, Gautam Gambhir and Eoin Morgan, the format surely must take some of the credit.
