However, it came as a surprise for many with the Mumbai Indians’ Ishan Kishan not batting in the Super Over.

Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma revealed that the prolific cricketer who played the best innings on Monday by scoring highest IPL score was completely drained out and the reason why the cricketer didn’t walk out to bat for the Super-Over.

He (Kishan) was drained out and was not comfortable. We thought we could send him but he was not feeling fresh. Hardik is somebody we trust to hit long balls, it is not coming off but we are confident he can pull things off for us. I mean 7 runs you need to have luck on your side, we had to get wickets but there was also an unfortunate boundary. We came back really well and a lot of positives to take away from this game.

With 17 runs required from the last 4 balls, Kishan hit consecutive sixes to bring the runs down to 5 off the last two balls. Everyone was expecting Ishan Kishan to face the Super-Over along with Kieron Pollard. But to surprise, it was Hardik Pandya who was chosen to partner Pollard. Navdeep Saini gave away just seven runs in the super-over besides claiming Pollard’s wicket. After Pollard was dismissed, Rohit came out to bat as they scored 7 runs in the Super Over.

Rohit also praised laud RCB for the nerves that they showed in the crucial moments.

"It was a great game of cricket. We were not in the game at all when we started off with the bat. Great innings by Ishan there and then Pollard was brilliant as usual for us. It is just that we couldn’t start well, I thought we could chase 200 with the batting power we have. We didn’t get the momentum in the first 6-7 overs and also lost three wickets. With Polly being there anything can happen, Ishan was also hitting it well so we had the belief that we would get there. Nothing to take away from RCB they held their nerve more than us,” Rohit Sharma said.
