IPL 2020, MI vs KKR: MI Player Ratings

Quinton de Kock was the Man of the Match [PC: iplt20.com]

Rohit Sharma: 7/10

Rohit started off positively but was more than happy to settle into a supporting role as his opening partner cut loose. The MI captain got an absolute jaffa that he couldn't have done much about, and departed for a 36-ball 35.

---

Quinton de Kock: 9/10

This was a near-flawless batting display from De Kock, who brought out a wide array of pulls and drives en route to a Man of the Match-winning performance of 78 off just 44 balls. The MI wicket-keeper dropped an absolute sitter that would've shaved at least 10 runs off the KKR total, but more than made up for it with his unbeaten knock.

---

Suryakumar Yadav: 5.5/10

Yadav scored only 10 off 10 balls as he attempted low-percentage shots throughout his stay at the crease, but plucked a superb catch to dismiss Rahul Tripathi. Having come in when he did, he should've stayed at the crease till the winning runs were hit.

---

Ishan Kishan: 6/10

Kishan didn't have to bat in this game, but he was once again excellent in the field.

---

Hardik Pandya: 8/10

After coming in at No. 4, Pandya played a superb cameo of 21 off 11 balls to take MI over the line with over 3 overs to spare. His shots off one Pat Cummins over in particular were eye-popping.

---

Krunal Pandya: 7.5/10

Krunal slowly seems to be coming into his own as a bowler, and delivered four economical overs for 23 runs although he never looked like picking up a wicket. The all-rounder wasn't need with the bat.

---

Kieron Pollard: 6/10

Much like Kishan, Pollard didn't have much to do but was excellent in the field.

---

Nathan Coulter-Nile: 2/10

Coming in in place of James Pattinson after recovering from a niggle, Coulter-Nile was the only MI bowler to take punishment on the night as he finished with figures of 1/51 in his 4 overs. The Australian picked up the wicket of Nitish Rana, but that was a mere consolation as he was dispatched to all corners of the ground. His pace and accuracy were way off, and MI could go back to Pattinson for the next game.

---

Rahul Chahar: 9/10

Chahar was the pick of the MI bowlers - he dismissed Karthik and Gill, finishing on 2/18 off his 4 overs. The leg-spinner strangled the KKR batting just after the powerplay, and played a big role in restricting them to a below-par total.

---

Trent Boult: 7/10

Boult started off excellently once again and although he was taken for a few runs by Cummins at the death, he finished with respectable figures of 1/32. The Kiwi pacer has taken a wicket in every game in IPL 2020 so far, and has become one of MI's key weapons with the ball in hand.

---

Jasprit Bumrah: 8.5/10

Bumrah once again dismissed KKR dangerman Russell, and was threatening throughout his 4 overs with yorkers and cleverly disguised slower balls. He picked up only the one wicket, but recorded superb figures of 1/22 in his 4.
