Skipper Hardik Pandya was visibly upset after MI lost to KKR at their home for the first time in 12 years.

In yet another terrible IPL season, captain Hardik Pandya gave the impression that he was fumbling in darkness for answers to all the unsolved dilemmas plaguing the five-time IPL champions. 

"There are a lot of questions that will take time to answer. But for now, not much to say. Obviously, we couldn't form partnerships and kept losing wickets. Bowlers did a fantastic job on this track. 

"The wicket got better if I'm not wrong. Dew came in the second innings. Will go through the game and see what we can do better," he said.

Pandya tried to put up a brave front as he spoke about fighting till the last match.

"You keep fighting, that's what I keep telling myself. It's challenging, but you take the challenges."

It was KKR's first away victory in Mumbai in twelve years. The last time they triumphed here, their main owner Shah Rukh Khan got into a fight with security personnel, which got him barred from the stadium for the following three years. KKR brought home the trophy that year, and their victory moved them up to 14 points, putting them in the running to finish among the top two teams.

Mumbai Indians were dismissed for 145 in 18.5 overs while chasing 170, despite a masterful fifty from Suryakumar Yadav. Mitchell Starc proved to be ineffective with the ball, as KKR won their eighth game in ten.
