Twitter goes crazy after watching Kieron Pollard hilariously waves the ball to reach the boundary line
Finally, Mumbai Indian are back on the winning track after defeating Rajasthan Royals in their last game. After winning the toss, the skipper of Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma, decided to field first considering the playing conditions.
Jos Buttler and Yashasvi Jaiswal opened for Rajasthan Royals and gave a good start to the innings. They added 49 runs in the powerplay overs without any loss of wicket.
In the 8th over of the game, Rahul Chahar removed the dangerous Jos Buttler before reaching his fifty. He continued the same in his next over by removing the youngster Yashasvi Jaiswal after conceding a six off the previous delivery.
Then the skipper of Rajasthan Royals, Sanju Samson played a vital role with Shivam Dube and built a good partnership in the middle. They added 47 runs for the 3rd wicket partnership before Samson was cleaned by the New Zealand-based cricketer Trent Boult.
Shivam Dube followed his skipper in the next over bowled by Jasprit Bumrah as the left-hander tapped the ball back to the bowler which ended in a simple catch.
At the end of the first half, Rajasthan Royals posted a quite challenging total of 171 runs on the board. Once again Jasprit Bumrah showed that why he is called the best bowler by conceding just 15 runs in his spell and picked up a wicket as well.
Besides, the swashbuckling batsman Kieron Pollard has done a hilarious thing during the 19th over of the game bowled by Chris Morris. The ball hit the helmet of the big man and started to run away towards the boundary rope when Pollard showed something hilarious on the field.
