The Mumbai Indians bowler Ashwani Kumar has been splendid with the ball as he has picked up 4 wickets in his spell. He dismissed the skipper Shubman Gill in the 5th over of the innings and that was the wicket the Mumbai Indians were searching for. Ashwani Kumar then picked up the wicket of Rahul Tewatia in the 11th over of the innings. He was breathing fire at the Wankhede as he got rid of Shahrukh Khan and Rashid Khan as well in his next over.
Skipper Hardik Pandya had mentioned in the post match interview of the previous game that he would make some amendments to his squad. The decision to bring on Ashwani Kumar has paid dividends as he bowled a fabulous spell, picking 4 wickets and giving away just 24 runs. The Mumbai Indians will be confident that they have the game well under control and they will have to only worry about the margin of the victory.
