Bowlers set the tone of the match in the first semi-final between Karnataka and Mumbai as 21 wickets fell on Day 1. While Mumbai’s Shardul Thakur picked four to help bowl the opposition out in two sessions, Vinay Kumar claimed 6/20 to bundle Mumbai out in 15.3 overs. The other clash in Kolkata was less eventful in comparison as Dinesh Karthik and Vijay Shankar took Tamil Nadu to stumps on 192 for 3. Here are the highlights at the end of first day’s play.

Karnataka vs Mumbai: Bowlers dominated at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium as both sides disintegrated on the first day of the semi-final clash. After Karnataka opted to bat on their home ground, the Shardul Thakur-led attack ran through the hosts’ line-up in the first two sessions. While Robin Uthappa top-scored with 68, Karun Nair was stranded on 49 as wickets crumbled at the other end. Thakur picked four while Wilkin Mota took two to bowl Karnataka out for 202. But the last session proved even more eventful as the Vinay Kumar-led attack dismantled the Mumbai line-up. The Karnataka captain bagged 6 for 20 while Sreenath Arvind took two and Abhimanyu Mithun picked one to wrap up the visitors’ innings. With Abhishek Nayar absent hurt due to an injury sustained while fielding, Mumbai's first innings was ended for 44 for 9. 



Karnataka, who were back in the middle for the second time in the day, then lost both their openers with ten runs on the board. Thakur accounted for Uthappa while Balwinder Singh Sandhu sent back Lokesh Rahul. 

10 for 2 at stumps, Karnataka were leading by 168 runs in the second innings at the end of day’s play.

 Score Card:
Karnataka 202 (Robin Uthappa 68, Karun Nair 49*, Shardul 4/61, Shardul 2/18) and 10/2 (Shardul 1/8, B S Sandhu 1/2); Mumbai 44 (Vinay Kumar 6/20, Arvind Sreenath 2/1)

Tamil Nadu vs Maharashtra: In the second semi-final at Eden Gardens, TN were 192 for 3 at close of play on the first day. Electing to bat first, they were 90 for 3 until Vijay Shankar joined Dinesh Karthik in resisting the Maharashtra attack. Karthik was batting on 48 with Shankar on 56 when play ended for the day. Samad Fallah, Anupam Sanklecha and Dominic Muthuswamy claimed a wicket each earlier in the day.

 Score Card:

Story behind Yusuf Pathan jersey No. '999'

Like in life, in sports too there are people who remain an enigma. At least to those who watch them from the outside. They fascinate and frustrate in equal measures. At times, one feels they are surviving on their reputation and not its execution. But these enigmatic geniuses often find someone who understands their worth, who believes in them as much as they believe in themselves. Yusuf Pathan is an enigma. Everyone knows of his supreme leather-pounding power and they love him for that. But to their dismay they don’t see that skill being converted into runs. But those close to him and his team mates see what others can’t. His Kolkata Knight Riders skipper, Gautam Gambhir, surely does.  Questions have been raised about Pathan’s place in the KKR Playing XI since the beginning of the 2012 IPL. And with every low score against his name, they have gotten louder. In IPL 2013, Pathan has played three matches so far and scored 18*, 0 and 27.  They’re not big scores but they’
