In Match 5 of the 2021 IPL, Mumbai Indians imposed a below-par total of 152 on the board, which the KKR openers seemed to be chasing down with ease until they lost their opener Shubman Gill. Although Nitish Rana kept going from one end, he saw no support from the others. Rahul Chahar got some crucial breakthroughs at regular intervals to put Mumbai Indians on driving seat. He registered 4 wickets to his name including the big fish, Nitish Rana on 57. 

Russell and Karthik failed to find gaps as Mumbai Indians bowlers bowled in right areas to maintain pressure on both ends. In the end, Mumbai Indians registered an emphatic 10-run win.
