Jasprit Bumrah drew first blood, dismissing Quinton de Kock in the fourth over. They could only muster 32 runs in the first six overs before the Lucknow franchise broke the shackles.KL Rahul started to find gaps as the runs started coming easily while Manish Pandey played second fiddle. They added 58 runs for the second wicket before Mumbai Indians managed to bounce back with a few wickets between the 11th and 14th overs.But the LSG captain kept the scoreboard ticking from one end. Rahul eventually brought up his hundred in the 20th over, dispatching Riley Meredith for a daunting six over deep midwicket.However, the Aussie quick bounced back in the last few balls to restrict the total to 168.
