Chasing 117 runs at the home ground, MI started with Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton. Though KKR bowlers were getting swing, after getting some trouble in the start, MI batters let the bat do the talking and started the counter-attack. Rohit Sharma got out, but it was Ryan Rickelton’s evening. The left-handed batter scored his maiden fifty in the IPL and took his team to an eight-wicket victory. MI won the match with 43 balls to spare.

Very satisfying. To win, especially at home and the way we did it as a group – everyone chipped in, cannot be happier. It is always a challenge of picking one guy here or there. Our team is sorted with the players we are backing and the players we have. We thought Ashwani can come in (on this pitch) and bowl the way he bowled. It is all scouts – they picked him. They have gone to all the places and picked these young kids. We played a practice game, he had that zip, that late swing, something off the wicket, a different action and he was a leftie. We just backed him and the way he took that wicket of Russell was a very crucial wicket, and how he started with the catch of de Kock, it was terrific to see
Hardik Pandya(MI’s Captain) said post-match
Collective batting failure, it was a good wicket to bat on. 180-190 would have been a good total on this pitch. We expect that (here), it has good bounce. When you are fighting against the bounce, that is what we did, you have to use it sometimes – we have to learn really fast. Bowlers were trying their best but not much runs on the board. We kept on losing wickets – four in the powerplay and after that, it was difficult to consolidate. You need one batter to bat through and stay till the end but that did not happen.
