Many raised their eyebrows when the Mumbai Indians’ management spent INR 15.25 crores for Kishan at the auction last month, but once again, the lad from Patna silenced his doubters wrong with a sensational knock, scoring 81 runs from 48 deliveries.

MI started their IPL 2022 campaign against Delhi Capitals, and Kishan wasted no time in showing his prowess. He first set up a solid 67-run stand for the first wicket with skipper Rohit Sharma.

While Sharma was then dismissed by Kuldeep Yadav, Kishan continued to play the dual role of both the innings’ anchor and the aggressor, quite effortlessly. Wickets kept tumbling at the other end but the 23-year-old was not be deterred. His sublime knock was comprised of 11 fours and also 2 sixes, as he helped Mumbai Indians put up a competitive score of 177 runs for Rishabh Pant’s Delhi Capitals to chase down.

This was Kishan’s tenth half-century in the IPL, and the second against Delhi Capitals, with the previous coming in IPL 2020 at Dubai. Besides that, this also is his highest score against the capitals. This was also Kishan’s highest score in IPL as an opener since 2020.
