A fantastic comeback effort by KKR spinners helped derail MI run-chase of 158 runs, restricting them to 139/8 in 16 overs in the IPL 2024 clash at Eden Gardens on Saturday and made the two-time champions the first team to reach the playoffs.
Earlier, rain played a spoilsport and the match officials decided to make it a 16-over contest.
The spinner asserted that there was help from the wicket and he was able to use it for his advantage.
"The plan was to make him hit across the line, obviously there was help from the wicket and I was able to use it to my advantage. Tactically we are similar, but technically we are slightly different. The wickets were too flat initially, my bowling has been the same from the first match and it is just that the results are showing up now," Chakravarthy said in the post-match presentation.
