First win in 12 long years at the #Wankhede for @KKRiders! #Starc showed what he is capable of with a magnificent exhibition of fast bowling and the spinners chipped in beautifully.

Many pluses for @KKRiders. The batting of Venkatesh Iyer, the pedigree of Manish Pandey and, critically, the form of Mitch Starc.
