IPL 2017: Mumbai Indians vs Gujarat Lions, 5 Talking Points

#4 The costly miss and Rana makes merry

Rana scored a 36-ball 53 today and once again played a vital innings in MI’s successful chase

A shining light in their campaign this year, if Mumbai Indians have managed to stay on top of the table, in spite of the absence of Ambati Rayudu and the indifferent form of Rohit Sharma, a lot of credit should go to this left-hander who is in supreme touch this season and now the proud holder of the Orange Cap.

Rana scored a 36-ball 53 today and once again played a vital innings in MI’s successful chase. But much before this, he was thrown a lifeline as early as in the second over of the innings, he was dropped by Jason Roy off the bowling of Basil Thampi. Beaten by Thampi’s pace, Rana skied the ball to Roy at mid-wicket, where he dropped a sitter.
