KKR vs MI: Kolkata Knight Riders stutter as Gambhir falls
NEW DELHI: Abu Nechim Ahmed gave Mumbai Indians the second breakthrough when he clean bowled Kolkata Knight Riders captain Gautam Gambhir in their IPL match at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday.
Put in to bat, Kolkata got off to a bad start as Shreevats Goswami was run out in the second over.
The breakthrough came after Mumbai captain Sachin Tendulkar won the toss and chose to bowl.
After winning the toss, Tendulkar said that the wicket should play better and dew might be a factor later on.

Mumbai have brought in Ray Price and Abu Nechim and dropped Andrew Symonds and Dhawal Kulkarni.
Kolkata are unchanged.
