He smashed 65 off 45 balls, with the help of five fours and three sixesm ebfore being dimissed.
After winning the toss and opting to bat first, MI endured a nightmare start, losing both their openers within the opening two overs. Trouble compounded when the in-form Suryakumar Yadav swiftly followed suit, leaving MI reeling against the ropes early in the contest.
Amidst the tumult, Tilak Varma and Mohammad Nabi emerged as the calming force, steadfastly weathering the storm unleashed by the opposition’s pace attack. Just as a sense of stability began to settle, Nabi’s departure added to the pressure.
However, Nehal Wadhera then joined Tilak Varma, and the duo showcased a remarkable display of calculated stroke play, minimizing risks while forging a formidable fifth-wicket partnership of 99 runs before Wadhera was dismissed.
Despite laying a solid foundation for a big finish, MI’s lower-middle order failed to capitalize, and they concluded their innings at 179 runs.
However, MI lost wickets in heap on either side of their fifth-wicket stand to post the lowest total for all teams batting first at this venue in this season.
