I'm probably the most surprised: Pat Cummins on his innings against MI
Mumbai/IBNS: Australian skipper Pat Cummins was "surprised" by his own blistering knock of 15-ball unbeaten 56 which powered Kolkata Knight Riders to thrash Mumbai Indian in the Indian Premier League (IPL) last night.
Cummins said in the post match presentation ceremony,"I think I'm probably the most surprised by that innings. I'm glad that it came off. I was thinking of having a swing if it was in my area. Wasn't trying to overthink it."
Rohit Sharma's Mumbai Indians were left shell shocked when Cummins pulled off a stunning victory for Kolkata with his blistering knock of unbeaten 56 off just 15 balls in almost no time.
Chasing a target of 162, Kolkata, like every other game, found little support from the top and middle orders losing wickets at regular intervals.
When Cummins came out to bat, Mumbai were falling heavy on Kolkata, who were reduced to 101/5 in 13.1 overs.
After picking two wickets during Mumbai innings, the Aussie bowler decided to deal with Sharma's bowlers only with fours and sixes.
