The Kolkata Knight Riders scored a huge 220 runs at the Wankhede Stadium against the Mumbai Indians on March 29. There, Ajinkya Rahane, who was initially doubted as a captain by the fans, scored 67 runs in 40 balls, which took ahead of former captain Gautam Gambhir, with the record for the highest individual score by a KKR captain against MI.

Raane broke a long-lasting record of 10 years of the two-time IPL-winning captain. Gambhir earlier led the chart with 64 runs in 52 balls, which he scored in 2016, his final season with the franchise.

Rahane took early charge, including a 25-run over against Hardik Pandya. His innings featured 3 fours and 5 sixes before being dismissed by Shardul Thakur. Alongside Finn Allen, Rahane helped KKR reach 78/1 in the powerplay, their highest-ever such score against MI in the IPL.
