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.
