IPL 2018, KKR vs MI: Hits and Misses

#1 Hit: Ishan Kishan

Ishan Kishan looked in blistering form in this game.

After a good start to this IPL, Ishan Kishan was slowing tapering away. In his last 3 innings (before this game), he registered two ducks. However, he was superb in this game against KKR as he registered the joint-second fastest half-century of this season.

Kishan strode out to bat at the end of the 9th over after the dismissal of Suryakumar Yadav. The second ball the Jharkhand wicket-keeper batsman faced was smashed one over long-on for six and got off the mark. He then struck 3 fours off Piyush Chawla in the next over and raced off to 21 from 9 balls.

MI suddenly found life in their innings but it was the 14th over that really gave them impetus that they needed. Kishan smashed four sixes off Kuldeep Yadav and helped MI fetch 25 runs off that over as their run-rate started touching 10.

He hit another maximum in the next over against Sunil Narine before holing out at deep square-leg. But Kishan had done the job for his team as he had scored a blistering 21-ball 62. His knock comprised of 5 fours and 6 sixes as he completely changed the momentum of the innings.
