3. Mumbai Indians vs Kolkata Knight Riders (2011)
In a thrilling display of resilience and determination, Mumbai Indians (MI) have historically showcased their ability to clinch last-minute victories from the brink of defeat. One such exhilarating encounter took place in Kolkata nine years ago, which epitomizes MI’s knack for staging dramatic comebacks.
MI found themselves on the verge of losing when Kieron Pollard’s leg stump was sent flying, with the team still needing 40 runs off just 15 balls. However, James Franklin stepped up to the challenge and unleashed a series of inspiring hits that turned the tide.
Facing a daunting task of scoring 21 runs in the final over, the New Zealand batsman fearlessly hammered Lakshmipathy Balaji for four consecutive boundaries. Then, Ambati Rayudu seized the moment and dispatched the last delivery – a leg-stump full toss – into the amazed Eden Gardens crowd. This unforgettable six secured MI’s place in the quarter-finals.
2. Kolkata Knight Riders Vs Royal Challengers Bangalore, (2008)
A list that talks about the best matches in the International Premier League cannot leave out the very first match of the tournament. On the night of the IPL finals, commentators were talking about how it would change cricket as we knew it, but little did they know that it would also become a reality on that very same night.
On the very first day of the Indian Premier League, Brendon McCullum scored 158 off just 73 balls and remained unbeaten. He played ferociously throughout his spellbinding innings and smashed 13 sixes and 10 boundaries throughout the innings.
1. Punjab Kings vs Kolkata Knight Riders, (2014 IPL Final)
In the final against Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings, or Kings XI Punjab, had lost the last two encounters against Kolkata Knight Riders. The first qualifying match for the playoffs took place a week ago, and it was the first qualifier in the playoffs. But Punjab still brought their best game to the final.
Kolkata-native Wriddhiman Saha, who played an exceptional knock of 115 runs from 55 balls, was the man of the match. In addition to Manan Vohra who outscored him with 67 runs from 52 deliveries, he was equally supported by the other players.
