During the match against Chennai Super Kings at their opponent’s home ground, Mumbai Indians were struggling to put up a competitive score for the opposition.
In the powerplay, CSK had already reached 50/1, courtesy of fluent strokeplay from Ruturaj Gaikwad and Devon Conway. However, during the innings, Conway’s exceptional batting skills irked Jofra Archer in a rare moment.
Archer was bowling the fourth over of the innings and delivered a good length ball within the stumps. Conway shifted slightly to his left and flicked the ball over midwicket with impressive wristwork, leaving the bowler on the verge of tears.
The incident caught the attention of Twitteratis who expressed their thoughts on the matter. After winning the toss, MS Dhoni elected to field first. Mumbai Indians had a terrible start to their innings when Rohit Sharma decided to experiment by sending Cameron Green to open with Ishan Kishan before him.
Unfortunately, the experiment backfired as Green was dismissed by Tushar Deshpande in just the second over of the match. Deepak Chahar then took over and got rid of both Ishan and Rohit in the following over.
