IPL 2018: MI vs RCB - Three best decisions from the game

#2 Picking Mitchell McClenaghan

Mitchell McClenaghan has been a vital component of this Mumbai lineup for three years. He has been a wicket-taker and has always stood up when it mattered, even though his economy is on the higher side. He had a disastrous start to the 2018 campaign as he went for 44 runs in the first match and was dropped for the subsequent matches.

But Rohit Sharma took a risky decision of picking McClenaghan in spite of the star-studded RCB batting lineup. Chasing 214, Kohli and de Kock were in attacking mode and this was when McClenaghan came in to bowl. He bowled an outstanding first over as he mixed the slower off-cutters and cross-seam deliveries with some wide yorkers.

In the next over, he picked the wickets of de Kock and de Villiers. This over completely took the momentum from the RCB chase and helped Mumbai Indians win the match.
