Jofra Archer was the one who dismissed Yadav and Sharma off successive deliveries, with both batsmen falling in similar fashion caught by Unadkat at the fine-leg boundary.

Ishan Kishan survived the hat-trick ball but couldn't repeat his big-hitting heroics against KKR tonight, as he was caught brilliantly by Sanju Samson at the long on boundary, an over after Lewis was caught by the very same fielder at the sweeper cover boundary.

The successive loss of wickets did affect the run-rate of the Mumbai Indians innings. If not for some big-hitting from Hardik Pandya towards the end, Rohit Sharma's side could have ended up with a much lower total than the 168 they eventually managed.
