Ashish Nehra’s blast
Mumbai Indians have a formidable batting line-up, definitely one that can certainly chase down 178 runs in the allotted 20 overs. So to get the better of them, SRH bowlers needed to get quick wickets—and people hoped that the combination of Mustafizur Rahman and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar would provide them that.
The wickets did come, however, but not from the usual suspects, but Ashish Nehra. The experienced Indian pacer absolutely rocked the Mumbai Indians batting line up in the 3 overs that he bowled. He gave away only 16 runs in the process and took out 3 top-order batsmen to virtually win the game for his team even before the powerplay was concluded.
