IPL 2016: 5 memorable matches for SRH on their road to the final that don't fade away

#3 Sunrisers Hyderabad vs Mumbai Indians

Ashish Nehra ripped throught the Mumbai Indians batting line-up

It seems as though Mumbai Indians were the whipping boys, the boxing bag, for the Sunrisers Hyderabad. In both the games that they played against each other, Sunrisers Hyderabad absolutely annihilated Rohit Sharma’s men.

The first game was a brutal display of chasing, while the home leg was an epic depiction of defending a total. This was also the game where we witnessed the ‘sanskaari’ side of Nehra-jee as he did a Namaste gesture to the umpire after picking the wicket of Jos Buttler.

Batting first, Hyderabad set a target of 178 for the Indians to chase. A fine innings of 82 by Shikhar Dhawan assisted them towards the total. In reply, Rohit Sharma and co. imploded for only 92 runs as 3 wickets each from Ashish Nehra and Mustafizur Rahman blew their line-up out of proportion.
