MI vs SRH | All-round Will Jacks subdues sluggish Sunrisers to record big Mumbai win

In response, the Indians found themselves in a similar hole early on as the swinging new ball restricted them to just four runs off the first two overs, but it was only a matter of time before Rohit Sharma discovered his usual purpose. The former skipper struck Mohammed Shami for two maximums in three ball, and then added one off Cummins for good measure before chipping one straight to cover to depart for a 16-ball cameo worth 26 runs. The wicket proved to be little reprieve though as it only saw fellow opener Ryan Rickelton taking on the aggressor role, manifested through three boundaries off Eshaan Malinga in the final over of the powerplay to make the score read a handsome 55/1. The Proteas was all set to depart next over when Zeeshan Ansari had him caught in the circle, but compatriot Heinrich Klaasen’s breached the stump line and added to SRH’s misery. Even though Rickelton still departed the next over — on the back of two fours on the trot — there was little looking back thereafter as Will Jacks and Suryakumar Yadav took over the onus with a match-winning stand of 52 in just 29 deliveries. All Tilak Varma and Hardik Pandya needed to do was finish the game, a task they carried off with aplomb (almost — Hardik and Naman Dhir succumbed in an 18th over worth a solitary run when two were required) as the team got over the finish line with plenty of room to spare.
