Ishan Kishan’s stylish 75 off 41 balls was complemented by Suryakumar Yadav’s 360-degree effort that fetched 66 off 31 balls as Mumbai Indians powered to a six-wicket victory over Punjab Kings in an IPL match, on Wednesday.
Uncapped Jitesh Sharma (49; 27b) matched T20 specialist Liam Livingstone (82 not out; 42b) in flair and flamboyance as the duo stepped up in style in the back end to propel Punjab Kings to a fighting 214/3 after Mumbai Indians opted to bowl.
But Ishan was at his furious best in a 41-ball 75 (7×4, 4×6), while Suryakumar Yadav batted with his usual flair in a 31-ball 66 (8×4, 2×6) to make a mockery of the 200-plus chase, winning with seven balls to spare.
