Mumbai Indians (MI) trumped Rajasthan Royals (RR) by seven wickets in Match 24 of the ongoing IPL on Thursday at Delhi’s Arun Jaitley Stadium.
Rohit Sharma and Co. showed a good team effort in all the departments of the game. While Quinton de Kock impressed everyone with his bat smashing 50-balls 70 to steer his side out of deep waters, Rahul Chahar and Trent Boult used their armoury of stock balls to contain the Royals for 171/4 in their 20 oဣvers.
One such incident took place in the 18th over when Boult was given a chance to dismantle RR batsmen, Sanju Samson and Shivam Dube, who were well set and looking to acc🍨elerate their team total to 180+.
In the first three deliverieꦅs, Boult put the b🐓atters under the pump by allowing them to rotate the strike without giving them a chance to go for big hits.
In the fourth ball, when Samson was on strike, the 31-year-old speedster bowled a thunderbolt yorker. The Royals skipper came to the fore and tried to hammer the ball emphatically but miꦕssed it completely. The ball through his bat and pads to uproot the middl♏e stump.
Thus, Samson, who was looking dangerous for the defending champions, had to perish before he could help his side ܫreach the expected target.
