Green finally bowling doesn’t fix KKR’s fundamental problem: overpaying for a player who isn’t firing with the bat. His bowling was a ‘nice to have’, not a solution to their top-order fragility. The delay also conveniently sidesteps scrutiny of his hefty ₹17.5 crore price tag. KKR desperately need wins, not belated bowling cameos, and their playoff hopes hang by a thread. They’ve wasted valuable resources.

Bumrah bowling full to Jaiswal was simply poor execution, costing Mumbai dearly. Jayawardene’s right – Jaiswal *is* the key, and MI failed to adjust. The summary glosses over RR expertly exploiting the Wankhede’s square boundaries, consistently targeting that area against MI’s weaker death bowlers. Sooryavanshi’s runs felt cosmetic. Mumbai’s reliance on individual brilliance, rather than tactical flexibility, is their fatal flaw. They won’t win the title playing like this.
