#2 Ishant Sharma (4-0-58-0) vs MI – Indore
On the back of Hashim Amla’s splendid century (104* off 60), Punjab were defending a par total of 199 against MI, on a true Indore wicket with even pace and bounce without much turn. Parthiv Patel and Jos Buttler took on the attack from the very first over, managing to score 82 in the powerplay overs.
Ishant Sharma, sharing the new ball with Sandeep Sharma, was carved all over the place by both the openers in his first spell. Coming back for the second spell in the 11th over, Nitish Rana greeted him with a six off the very first ball.
Failing to bowl yorkers and overpitching it, Hardik hit him for consecutive boundaries, plundering 14 off his last three deliveries and sealing the deal for MI.
