Yuvraj was flamboyant in the first game and looked as if he is in his prime. It will be tough for MI bowlers to stop them. One more star has emerged for SRH like it happened in the previous season. In IPL 2016 it was Mustafizur Rahman and now it’s Afghanistan 18-year-old leggie Rashid Khan. He is sharing the purple cap with Rising Pune Supergiant (RPS) spinner Imran Tahir.
For MI too it has been a fruitful season so far despite losing their first game to RPS in a nail-biter. In the previous match, Nitish Rana emerged as one more discovery of IPL as he scored fifty in tough times. Hardik Pandya too has been in splendid form, finishing the game for MI and scoring at a brisk rate in last overs. Pandya is yet to be dismissed in the tournament, he will be put on test against SRH’s bowlers.
