Ishan Kishan and Kieron Pollard were in fine structure for Mumbai Indians as they pulled Rohit Sharma's side from the verge against Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore. Ishan Kishan impacted two fours and nine sixes in his epic knock of 99 while Kieron Pollard was at his typical forceful best as he crushed 60 off 24 balls. The 119-run stand helped Mumbai Indians level the score against Royal Challengers Bangalore, with Ishan Kishan horrendously falling for 99 in the wake of hitting two sixes in the last over bowled by Isuru Udana.
Shockingly, Ishan Kishan didn't come out to bat in the Super Over, and rather, Pollard and Hardik Pandya came out. Navdeep Saini astonished a splendid Super and surrendered only seven runs. Imperial Challengers Bangalore held their nerve against Jasprit Bumrah and won on the last ball. In the post-coordinate introduction, Rohit Sharma clarified the explanations for not sending the in-type of Kishan in the Super Over.
“He (Kishan) was drained out and was not comfortable. We thought we could send him but he was not feeling fresh. Hardik is somebody we trust to hit long balls, it is not coming off but we are confident he can pull things off for us,” Rohit Sharma said.
