NEW DELHI: Kolkata Knight Riders lost opener Yusuf Pathan (19) after the Baroda batsmen gave the hosts an incredible start, scoring 26 runs in the first over against Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday.

Mitchell Johnson took the wicket of the hard-hitting batsman, who had earlier blasted Harbhajan Singh scoring three consecutive boundaries and a six in the first four balls of the match. Hosts skipper Gautam Gambhir joined the party and hit a six, taking the score to 26 after the first over.

Earlier, Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Gambhir won the toss and decided to bat against Mumbai Indians in second of their three back-to-back home fixtures in the sixth IPL.
