By Team ISN April 9, 2022

Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan’s flashy beginning followed an odd batting breakdown before the dauntless Suryakumar Yadav with a splendid unbeaten 68 off 37 balls took Mumbai Indians to a decent 151 for 6 against Royal Challengers Bangalore in an IPL match on Saturday.

For RCB, Harshal Patel (2/23 of every 4 overs) was splendid with his varieties as majority of the MI batters had no clue about his more slow deliveries, which were basically off-cutters with infrequent loopy square opening balls that floated.

MI were 50 for no loss after Powerplay except for in the following four overs lost upwards of five wickets to become 62 for five and in this way 79 for six preceding Suryakumar (5×4, 6×6) with his fifteenth IPL fifty, gave the complete similarity to regard with his counter-attack.

Suryakumar assumed responsibility with MI wobbling at 79 for 6 and added 72 off 41 balls with Jaydev Unadkat (13 no off 14 balls).

For Rohit (26 off 15 balls), this IPL up to this point has been tied in with playing a few amazing shots however not getting a major score as he dashed to 26 preceding Harshal’s delayed off-shaper got the job done.Playing the supportive role, Kishan’s (26 off 28 balls) endeavor to utilize the speed of Akash Deep in his bid to play the slope shot turned into his loss as he was trapped in the third man region.

Dewald Brevis (8 off 11 balls) found it tough to arrange the wrist spin of Wanindu Hasaranga (2/28 out of 4 overs) and was rapped on the back-cushion

Tilak Varma faced a failure because of miscommunication with Kieron Pollard which brought about a run-out and the huge West Indian then got tricked by a Hasaranga googly.

Harshal shrewdly changed his arm speed consistently which misdirected the players as the balls began floating.
