Hardik Pandya did an exceptional job today

Hardik Pandya who went for 20 runs in his first over came back with a direct hit to dismiss Bazz followed by 3 wickets in an over including Virat Kohli. Game changer ! #RCBvMI

Mumbai Indians bowled two no-ball sixes

Two balls produced 26 runs. Who would’ve thought it was possible. No-ball Six.
Free Hit Six.

Pandya is the highest wicket-taker this season

Any team who gives 3 wicket to @hardikpandya7 that too in one over should be banned for next #ipl .@imVkohli @negi1984

RCB bowlers have finally defended a total

The bowlers finally coming good collectively for RCB and they win.
Southee very good at the death, Umesh and Siraj were exceptional.
Kohli will be particularly happy that they could defend 35 from the last 3. Much needed win for @RCBTweets #RCBvsMI
