With 14 points, the team has reached the third position in the points table.
The hero of the Mumbai victory was Suryakumar Yadav. He played an unbeaten innings of 103 runs off 49 balls. In this inning, he hit 11 fours and 6 sixes. This is the first century of Surya’s IPL career. He was voted player of the match. After the match, Sky said, it was arguably one of my best T20 innings. Every time I score runs, I feel like the team must win. The most important thing is that we hit first today and we said that when you chase 200-220, we will keep the same pace.
There was a lot of spray on the ground and I knew what shots to play, I wasn’t thinking of hitting the front. He had two shots in mind: one on the fine leg and one on a third man. There is a lot of practice before the game, so when it comes to the game, I am very clear and express myself.
While Mumbai captain Rohit Sharma said it was an interesting game, especially from our point of view, happy to get two points. We wanted to have a left-right combination, but Sky came up and said no, he wanted to go in. This is the kind of confidence that he has and rubs off on others. You want to start over each game and not look back at the previous game. Sometimes you can sit back and be proud, but that’s not the case with him.
