Vyshak, playing only his third game of the season, bowled an excellent spell as he ended with figures of 2/44. Despite wickets falling from one end, Suryakumar Yadav acted as the crisis manager once again. The right-hander, who has been MI’s consistent performer this season, once again impressed everyone with the bat. Scoring his 14th consecutive 25-plus score in T20s, SKY brought up his fifty in 34 balls. His 44-run partnership with Hardik Pandya helped MI get back on track.
