What an explosive innings from Rickelton! 🔥 That powerplay was pure carnage. MI's batting lineup looks scary when SKY gets going too. LSG bowlers really struggled to contain them today.

SKY's 50 in 27 balls was pure class! But I think MI could have managed their middle overs better. Lost wickets in clusters which slowed their momentum slightly. Still, 215 is a great total!

Mayank Yadav showing why he's so special again! Even on an off day he picked crucial wickets. That slower ball to get Rohit was brilliant. LSG's bowling attack needs more support though.

Naman Dhir's cameo at the end was the cherry on top! 25 off 11 when the team needed quick runs. MI's lower order is finally contributing this season 💙

While the batting was great, I'm concerned about MI's bowling attack defending this. Our death bowling has been weak this season. Hope Bumrah can work his magic!

Rickelton's innings was a masterclass in power hitting! 58 off 32 with 6 fours and 4 sixes 😍 MI finally found their perfect opener. Wankhede crowd got their money's worth today!
