Scored 82 runs in 23 balls
Mumbai Indians had a very bad start to their innings, losing 3 wickets till the score of 44. In such a situation, Tilak Verma first set foot on the crease and at one time was playing after scoring 19 runs in 22 balls. But after that he created such havoc that he scored 82 runs in the next 23 balls of his innings.
Mumbai Indians also did wonders. At one time the team had scored 103 runs in 14 overs, after which, thanks to the storm of Tilak Verma, Mumbai scored 98 runs in the last 6 overs. Hardik Pandya’s bad form is showing no signs of ending. Hardik came to bat in the 13th over itself. It can be understood that Tilak was in good touch, hence he played more balls. But Hardik wasted 16 balls and could score only 15 runs.
