Astonishingly Rohit Sharma came into bat during the run chase as an impact player. It was reported that Rohit Sharma was unwell and in his absence, Suryakumar Yadav led the side.

MI got off to a rollicking start as Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma unleashed an attack on the opposition from the word go. In the 4th over, Ishan Kishan whacked Sunil Narine for 2 sixes and 2 fours as all the variations were proving to be ineffective.

KKR’s bowlers gave ample room to the batters and perhaps, skipper Nitish Rana’s decision to bring Sunil Narine into the power-play overs back-fired. Rohit Sharma was seen playing the second fiddle and capitalizing on the loose deliveries.

Crucial Phase for KKR

MI need another 121 runs to win in less than 15 overs which is not a tough task in modern cricket. All eyes would be on Ishan Kishan who has looked threatening and needs to make the most of this start. Suryakumar Yadav would be keen to make a statement that he is not done yet.

KKR on the other side need a cluster of wickets to give themselves a chance in this contest. The role of Sunil Narine would be quite crucial. Skipper Nitish Rana would be considering bringing back the lethal speedster Lockie Ferguson into the attack as he not only has got express pace but can fox the batters with his variations.
