Mumbai Indians faced yet another defeat against Sunrisers Hyderabad in the match at Rajiv Gandhi stadium, Hyderabad.
While everyone expected it to be a “not-so-risky” chase, spinner Mayank Markhande starred with the ball yet again with a four-wicket haul and grabbed the purple cap (7 wickets).
Billy Stanlake and Deepak Hooda starred with the bat and played a vital role in clinching the thriller by one wicket on the final ball of the match.
It was a nail-biting thriller and Mumbai have to wait to open their account in the points table. Sunrisers now is placed at the top of the table ahead of Super Kings due to a good NRR.
Rashid Khan was awarded the MOM for his spell of 4-0-13-1 as he bowled 18 dot balls that prevented the run flow from the Mumbai Indians.
It is to be noted that both the teams missed their key players Hardik Pandya and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar and this really had an impact on the game.
Twitter went crazy and this is how it responded to this thriller

While the cricket has been excellent and the #IPL has lived up to its hype, it has also been an extremely rewarding week; working with top professionals in television and with a young, eager team in digital on @cricbuzz

Gotta feel for the @mipaltan bowlers so close to becoming the heroes of the day, #Markhande providing the breaks early, but #Bumrah and #Mustafizur bowled some gems in the death overs #SRHvMI #IPL

One wicket victory in #IPL first 10 seasons happened just once!
One wicket victory in #IPL2018 – now twice in 7 games!#SRHvMI— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) April 12, 2018
There is considerable improvement in @sidkaul22 this IPL. Feel he is much better than a few who’ve played T20s for India recently #SRHvMI

Got too close to comfort in the end but that was T20 Cricket at its best. The bowlers did an excellent job in restricting MI to 147 & in the end Hooda held his nerve under pressure.Special mention to young Markande,looks a promising prospect. #OrangeArmy is a happy army #SRHvMI

What a game. Chennai twice chased what looked unchaseable and Mumbai today nearly defended the undefendable. Last 3 overs SRH needed 15 with 5 wickets in hand. Fizz, Markande, Bumrah made a match out of it. Hooda, in the end held his nerve #SRHvMI

3-23 vs CSK
4-23 vs SRH
What a start for Markande in the IPL. Another promising Indian leggie…admire his control. Hardly a bad ball bowled. 👏👏 #IPL #SRHvMI— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) April 12, 2018
