It was a complete performance: Williamson on MI win

Mumbai, Apr 1 At a time when teams are amassing big totals with consummate ease in the IPL, Mumbai Indians have bowled out Kolkata Knight Riders for 116 in their latest face-off here, an effort that has left New Zealand star Kane Williamson highly impressed. Ashwani Kumar's record four-wicket haul on IPL debut and Ryan Rickelton's 62 not out powered Mumbai Indians to a commanding win over defending champions KKR at the Wankhede Stadium. The 23-year-old Ashwani from Punjab's Jhanjeri became the first Indian ever to take four wickets on IPL debut as he ended with figures of 3-0-24-4 to blow away KKR's star-studded batting lineup. Former India spinner Piyush Chawla said KKR failed to come up with the right strategy while batting keeping in mind the conditions and match situations.
