Kolkata: Kolkata Knight Riders might have come up trumps in a high-scoring IPL opener against Mumbai Indians, but skipper Gautam Gambhir was all praise for his bowling unit that was ably led by South African speedster Morne Morkel.

KKR outplayed MI by 7 wickets in a match where the bat dominated the ball. If skipper Rohit Sharma led his side to 168 for three with his unbeaten 98 then Gambhir (57) and Suryakumar Yadav (46 not out) took care of the chase for the home team. But it was Morne who got the man-of-the-match award for his 2-18.
