IPL 2018, SRH vs MI: 5 Talking Points

#2 Mayank Markande’s game-changing spell

With not enough to defend, the youngster Mayank Markande was brought in only the 7th over today. He came into this game having bamboozled the CSK batsmen to get three wickets.

His confidence was evident and it was desperately needed for MI that he comes in and takes wickets. And that’s what he did as he got four wickets in a quality spell of leg spin bowling.

His composure and control is very pleasing to see, especially for someone who is just starting off in his IPL journey. In this game, he had to do something special to bring MI into the game just when it looked like SRH would cruise to a win.

With figures of 4-0-23-4, he got MI into the game with 10 dot balls which is really impressive in the high-pressure environment of the IPL.
