5 memorable moments from the GL-MI match that don't fade away

Ishan Kishan got his side off to a flying start

Well, what a game. This felt like a kid in her/his first roller coaster ride as Mumbai versus Gujarat provided us with the first Super Over of the Indian Premier League 2017.

Gujarat Lions won the toss and opted to bat first, but couldn’t put up the total they liked. However, they managed to crawl to 153 in their 20 overs. In response, Mumbai Indians made a flying start to their innings, but lost their way soon after. In the end, some special fielding from the Lions halted the Indians, resulting in a Super Over.

#1 Ishan Kishan surprise

Gujarat Lions are among those teams in this year’s Indian Premier League that are yet to find the right opening pair. In their desperation for stability, they placed their hopes on Ishan Kishan to partner Brendon McCullum at the top. 

It didn’t work out in the last game as he could only manage 16 runs, but we saw a glimpse of his talent against the Mumbai Indians. Against the Rohit Sharma-led side, he scored 48 runs off just 35 balls, hitting six boundaries and two sixes in the process.
