Prasidh Krishna to Tilak Varma, FOUR, maiden hundred for Tilak in the IPL, this is a special knock, slower short delivery, Varma has played the cross-batted shot well throughout the innings, this time hammers it to deep square leg, found and gap and he celebrates in style. Hardik leads the celebrations - jumping up and down while clapping. Varma removes his helmet, puts it down with the bat and then points his left forefinger skywards and the right forefinger to the side of his forehead. He then folds his hands and looks towards the heavens. He is pumped and so are the rest of the Mumbai Indians

Prasidh Krishna to Naman Dhir, out Caught by Kagiso Rabada!! Prasidh Krishna breaks the partnership. He has taken all his wickets in this phase. Yet another big wicket for him. Gets the set batter - Naman Dhir. Goes short and aims it the body, Naman Dhir swivel-pulls it towards deep square leg, but doesn't get the timing right. Rabada from the deep charges in and completes a good low catch. Naman Dhir c Kagiso Rabada b Prasidh Krishna 45(32) [4s-6 6s-1]

Kagiso Rabada to Suryakumar Yadav, out Bowled!! Three wickets for Kagiso Rabada in the powerplay. He's breathing fire today. This was bowled at 152.1 kph and the stumps have been shattered. This was pitched up slightly and it jagged in a touch. Suryakumar Yadav was beaten for pace I guess as he went for a drive. Right through his gates, the furniture is disturbed, and SKY's poor run continues. Played a couple of good looking shots, but Kagiso Rabada is on a roll. Has been an outstanding spell by him already. Mumbai Indians on the back foot pretty early in the innings. They would need a special effort from the batters to follow next. Suryakumar Yadav b Kagiso Rabada 15(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

Kagiso Rabada to Quinton de Kock, out Caught&Bowled!! Kagiso Rabada has the last laugh. Good pace on that delivery. Almost 150 clicks, 149.7 kph to be precise. This was a short and quick delivery around off, and Quinton de Kock tries to play this across the line. Hacks across the line, loses his shape in the process and the top edge has been taken by Rabada. Not for the first time he has been dismissed while playing this shot. This shot has resulted in his downfall several times before. Kagiso Rabada has gotten rid of the openers within the powerplay itself. He has been in fantastic rhythm this season and making his form count. Quinton de Kock c and b Kagiso Rabada 13(11) [4s-1 6s-1]

Mohammed Siraj to Naman Dhir, FOUR, easy pickings for Naman Dhir. This was drifting on the pads and the in-form batter put it away to the fine leg fence with a well-executed flick. No need to run for those. Immediately a short fine leg in place by Siraj

Kagiso Rabada to Danish Malewar, out Lbw!! Kagiso Rabada strikes in his over. That's not a great start for Danish Malewar. He departs early on his MI debut. Kagiso Rabada attacks the stumps with this length delivery. Danish Malewar shuffles across in the crease to play it across the line, but gets beaten for pace. Rapped on the pads and the umpire reckons it would've crashed into the stumps. Looked plumb to the naked eye and the batter doesn't bother reviewing it. Doesn't waste any time and starts walking back to the pavilion. Danish Malewar lbw b Kagiso Rabada 2(4)

Kagiso Rabada to Quinton de Kock, SIX, that's the kind of form he is in. Can't afford to bowl such looseners against him. Kagiso Rabada fires a full length delivery on middle and leg, Quinton de Kock picks the length early and flicks it over deep mid-wicket for the first maximum of the evening
