IPL 2018, DD vs MI: Hits and Misses
The Mumbai Indians crashed out of IPL 2018 after falling to an 11-run defeat against the Delhi Daredevils at the Feroz Shah Kotla stadium on Sunday (May 20).
After defending a total successfully against CSK earlier this week, the home side was infused with a newfound confidence in their bowling unit. Keeping that in mind, Shreyas Iyer, the DD skipper, decided to bat first after winning the toss.
Chasing a stiff target of 175, the Mumbai Indians kept losing wickets at frequent intervals, ultimately failing to get over the line on the day.
Here are the hits and misses from the game:
#5 Hit: Rishabh Pant
The left-handed batsman, who has been a stand-out performer for Delhi this season, stepped up for them once again in their last game of the tournament.
Coming into the middle of the crease in the fifth over of the game, Pant took the attack to the opposition and did not wilt against the star-studded bowling line-up of the Mumbai Indians.
He ended up scoring 64 runs in just 44 deliveries, batting at a strike rate over 140. He also smashed four boundaries and four sixes on the day, ensuring that his team reached a strong total on the day.
