MI Take Control with Bowling Prowess
Opting to field first after winning the toss, MI skipper Rohit Sharma deployed his bowlers strategically. Debutant Anshul Kamboj impressed alongside seasoned campaigners Hardik Pandya and Piyush Chawla, restricting SRH to a manageable 173/8. Openers Abhishek Sharma and Travis Head provided Hyderabad with a decent start, but their dismissals triggered a middle-order collapse. Only a late flourish from Pat Cummins (35* off 18 balls) prevented a more significant batting collapse for SRH.
Suryakumar Yadav: A One-Man Demolition Squad
Chasing a modest target, MI encountered early hiccups, losing their top order cheaply. However, the indomitable Suryakumar Yadav stepped up when his team needed him most. In a display of pure batting brilliance, he stitched together a match-winning partnership of 133 runs with the promising Tilak Varma (48). Yadav's knock was a masterclass in power-hitting, reaching his century off just 51 balls with 12 fours and 6 sixes. He remained unbeaten on 100, guiding MI to a comfortable victory with plenty of overs to spare.
