Rohit Is Getting Better, Getting There- Kieron Pollard
The DC batting once again looked ordinary and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. They could only muster a score of 110 runs after their 20 overs against the mighty MI bowling attack.
Then in the chase, Ishan Kishan continued his good form and scored a well-made unbeaten half-century and took his side home. Kishan was also adjudged the man of the match award for scoring 72 runs from 47 deliveries. Eventually, MI chased down the target in just the 15th over and solidified their position in the top 2.
Here’s what the winning captain Kieron Pollard said in the post-match presentation.
“Boult was exceptional. That’s his strength, bowling with the new ball. He’s consistently given us good starts. Bumrah, I kept delaying him, on this track with his angles. He’s jumping to bowl in the powerplays, but again I saw today getting those early wickets, and with the spinners getting grip, kept him for the middle overs.
