Mumbai won the toss and sent Kolkata in and it didn't take long for the batting to falter, Australian star Chris Lynn the first to fall when he holed out for four to Bumrah.
Sunil Narine tried to break the shackles before he was deceived by Sharma's googly and was stumped in the fifth over.
Robin Uthappa (1) was undone by Bumrah's pace when he attempted a flick and was adjudged lbw and Sharma exposed the lower batting order as early as in the seventh over when he dismissed captain Gautam Gambhir (12) and Colin de Grandhomme (0) off successive deliveries and reduced Knight Riders to 5-31.
