Mumbai Indians started slow while chasing down the total. They only scored 15 in the first three overs. PBKS skipper KL Rahul then introduced rookie spinner Ravi Bishnoi into the attack. Playing his first delivery of the over, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma went on to play a slog-weep and miscued it to the short mid-on fielder. Mandeep Singh grabbed the ball and PBKS got its first breakthrough.
However, the young leg spinner did not stop there. Suryakumar Yadav arrived in the pitch who is yet to score a double digit run in the 2nd half of the season. Suryakumar who had no idea of Bishnoi’s googly left a big gap between his bat and pad. Suryakumar tried to drive the delivery but the 21-year-old spinner knocked his stumps off. Suryakumar Yadav departed for a duck and his poor form with the bat continues.
