Kolkata Knight Riders went on to defeat Mumbai Indians to keep themselves alive in the playoffs race. The team once stood at the bottom of the table with no wins. And now, they have a bright chance to reach the playoffs if they win one more game.

Kolkata Knight Riders may be cooking one of the biggest comebacks ever in the IPL history. The team once stood at the bottom of the table with no wins in 6 games. At that point, everyone wrote them off, thinking that the team would be the first to get eliminated this season.

But to everyone's surprise, they have managed to keep themselves alive till the end. Now the fate of KKR will be decided through their final league stage game which will be against Delhi Capitals. Yesterday, Kolkata Knight Riders went against Mumbai Indians, as Mumbai had the chance to beat them and knock them out.

With the match starting, it was quickly affected due to the weather conditions. Still, KKR bowlers took the early advantage and restricted Mumbai Indians to the score of 147/8 in 20 overs. Following this, the team chased down the target in 18.5 overs, to keep themselves alive in the playoffs race.

Here's how Twitter has reacted to KKR being alive in this intense race.

Tables Have Turned

Earlier Punjab was the team with no losses and KKR was the team with no wins. Now both of them stand with the same number of points in the table.

Not for Me

Kolkata Knight Riders have been calling for an ambulance. But it is definitely not for them, as it would be for their opponents who work hard to ensure that they lose again.

Could've Been Another Win

Kolkata Knight Riders could also have won their match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. But the team dropped crucial catches and even batted slow in the death overs.
