Dhawan was exceptional tonight with the bat as even after Mayank departed, he continued being the aggressor even after Bairstow and Livingstone fell early. In the last few overs, Jitesh Sharma scored a quickfire 15-ball 30 while hard-hitter Shahrukh hammered a couple of sixes in the final over. In the last three overs, Punjab batters managed to get 47 runs.
Yet again, Mumbai Indians' bowling attack failed to deliver. Apart from Jasprit Bumrah, other Mumbai bowlers were smashed for runs. All-rounders Kieron Pollard or Brevis were not asked to bowl tonight as Rohit Sharma was content with the five bowlers.
