Mohammad Kaif further pointed out that Ishan Kishan did struggle in his innings but looked inflow after that.
He elaborated further: “He got slightly stuck at the start. He opened his arms once Rishi Dhawan’s spell was over. The leg side is his strong area and he targeted straight down the ground as well. So he stuck to his game. He looked in his flow after a long time.”
Mumbai Indians (MI) will be next seen in action when they will take on their arch-rivals Chennai Super Kings (CSK) on Saturday (6th May).
