Excellent spell from @krunalpandya24. Changed the momentum of the game when he came on in the 4th over

Wonder why tv umpires don’t ask for the ball tracking first when it’s obvious, like it was with the lbw review from Chahar now, that the ball has pitched outside leg.

Good overs by @krunalpandya24 and @Jaspritbumrah93. The ball is gripping a bit while @rdchahar1 is bowling but it may stop in some time when the dew makes the seam wet. The ball will start skidding on to the bat.#KXIPvMI #IPL2020

Pollard and #MI denied a single. LBW given. Reviewed. Inside edge confirmed. But the easy run they took won’t count. Dear @ICC, this might cost someone the World Cup someday. Need a rethink. Umpires will have to reserve their decision till the ball is dead. #MIvKXIP

And equally impressive was the young Rahul Chahar. This is a quality bowling attack for @mipaltan. The difference between the two sides. https://t.co/BjGk403JuI

Beating #MI not easy, but disappointing display by Punjab, bowling, fielding and batting

Simply sensational ball striking from Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya. I would love to see one of these power hitters get the chance to bat 15 overs.

It isn’t only going to be @klrahul11 or @mayankcricket if they @lionsdenkxip have to make a match Pooran and @Gmaxi_32 have to make tangible contributions tonight. @mipaltan have an excellent attack. @IPL #KXIP #MI

It was an above par score by @mipaltan ! Kudos to #RohitSharma’s inning. It wasn’t easy early on with the ball moving around. He did the hard bit! Well done #MI on winning this game. #RohitSharma #pollard #hardik #bumrah #chahar #Pattinson

When #MI win, they do it in style. Second convincing for the defending champions. The common factor in both their victories—Rohit scored in both the games. #IPL2020
