New Delhi: Manish Pandey smashed an unbeaten 81 off 47 balls to help Kolkata Knight Riders recover from a mini collapse and reach 178 for seven against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League on Sunday



The Karnataka batsman struck Mitchell McClenaghan for two sixes and as many fours in the last over of the innings that produced 23 runs.



It was mainly due to the Manish Pandey’s clean hitting that the total crossed the 150 mark.



The 27-year-old batsman made impossible possible in the Indian Premier League by scoring 18 runs in just 2 legal deliveries.



On the first delivery of the final over, Manish hit Mitchell McCleanghan for six over deep mid wicket.  The New Zealand pacer steeped his foot over the popping crease and Manish made no mistakes in sending the ball behind the ropes for four, making it 11 in 1 legal delivery.



On free-hit, the Kiwi bowler delivered a wide to make it 12 off just 1 ball. The Karnataka batsman cleared the boundary line on the next delivery to pull 18 runs in just 2 balls.
