When you get those looks!

I just clapped when Jason Roy hit the six. Forgot that I was sitting in a restaurant in Mumbai and not Delhi. Had the whole restaurant looking at me.

Good move to send Suryakumar Yadav upfront, likes to stand tall and deliver, making good use of the home conditions at #Wankhede ,was expecting well over 200 #MI should be disappointed #MIvDD #IPL2018

Suryakumar's duck-ramp shot!

Suryakumar Yadav played a duck-ramp shot for four off Tent Bolt🤭🤭🤭🤭. Tells me everything I need to know about how batting skill has accelerated in the modern game. How can critics say there’s only power and little skill in T20 batting?
