MI had warning indications right away when veteran Rohit Sharma was dismissed for a dismal duck after being bowled out by Khaleel Ahmed in the opening over.
Ahmed would only add to the early strain on MI by dismissing rookie Ryan Rickleton in the next over.
MI’s early downfall was aided by SKY and Tilak Varma, who contributed some crucial runs to keep the visitors in the chase.However, the combination of Ashwin, Jadeja, and Noor would undo all the hard work with a scary spin spell; debutante Noor Ahmed finished his game with numbers of 4/18.
MI would reach their target of 156 runs with a crucial last-minute knock of 28* from new addition Deepak Chahar.
