MI wished for Yadav to produce match-winning performances with 360-degree shotmaking that can alter the course of games prior to the 2023 IPL season. Surya scored another magnificent 66 (31b, 8×4, 2×6) as MI pursued their second consecutive 200-plus total.

When Punjab Kings scored 214/3 at home, they likely felt assured in their ability to defend the total. In fact, they had scored precisely that score (214/8) and won by 13 runs on April 22 at Wankhede. This time, however, MI’s opener Ishan Kishan was also in scintillating form (75 – 41b, 7×4, 4×6), and he and Surya guided the team to victory with seven balls remaining.

When Kishan was dismissed, MI needed 37 runs off 23 deliveries, which Tilak Varma (26*, 10b) and Tim David (19* – 10b) effortlessly achieved. MI is still in the standings, while Punjab dropped to seventh after the loss, with both teams on 10 points.

Kishan and Surya put together a 116-run partnership to win the game. Sam Curran, the all-rounder for the Punjab Kings, is the most expensive player in IPL history, but he was thrashed by Surya and Kishan. Curran surrendered 41 runs in three overs.

As an impact performer, Surya recorded his highest score of the IPL and his third fifty in four innings. Kishan scored his second fifty after failing to capitalize on a few opportunities after his first fifty against KKR. MI still required 45 runs after Surya’s dismissal, a firm cut taken on the second attempt at third man by Arshdeep Singh off Nathan Ellis, but Varma and David helped the team to victory.

However, PBKS must be dissatisfied with their bowling performance after their batsmen scored their fourth consecutive 200-run total, this time on a batting pitch. Liam Livingstone scored an outstanding unblemished 82 off 42 balls (7×4, 4×6). Shikhar Dhawan (30) and Matthew Short (27) contributed to the team’s success. Jitesh Sharma scored 49* (27b, 5×4, 2×6) and contributed to an unbroken partnership of 119 off 52 deliveries with Livingstone.

Prior to this IPL, there was much discussion about Livingstone’s availability. Due to a knee injury he sustained during his Test début in Pakistan, he missed the first few games. Wednesday, however, the 29-year-old England batter came into his own.

PBKS were 95/3 just after the halfway point, but Sharma and Livingstone kept smashing. Only an outstanding final over by Akash Madhwal, in which he conceded only nine runs, slowed them down in the end.

The left-handed opener’s 124 (62b, 16×4, 8×6) represented more than fifty percent of the visitors’ 212/7, which was insufficient. Suryakumar Yadav’s authoritative 29-ball 55 gave MI wings, and Tim David’s audacious 45 not out in 14 deliveries carried them home with three balls and six wickets to spare. With 17 required from the final over bowled by Jason Holder, the large Australian completed the match with three consecutive sixes.

Jaiswal began his first IPL century with a pair of sixes, the second off Jofra Archer soaring out of the stadium. Archer was on target with his pace (two 148kph deliveries to Jaiswal stood out), but not with his line to Jos Buttler, who required eight deliveries to score a run. Jaiswal made amends by smashing Riley Meredith for four fours in a single over, including several precise drives, as RR raced to 58 in five overs.

Piyush Chawla was pivotal in reversing the visitors’ momentum by getting Buttler to hole out and Devdutt Padikkal caught off a googly, while Arshad Khan dismissed Sanju Samson.

By then, with RR 103/3 after 11 overs, Jaiswal had reached fifty off 32 balls. He only added 21 more for the next fifty. As enterprising was the left-hander’s shotmaking, reverse-sweeping Chawla for six and prancing down for four. Thus, as MI continued to make advancements, Jaiswal kept RR moving forward. Also at the end, he punished Meredith for three consecutive fours that propelled him into the three-figure bracket in the 18th over. Then, he dismissed Archer for consecutive sixes over mid-off and square leg.

Rohit Sharma, the captain of the home team, was dismissed in the second over by a slower delivery from Sandeep Sharma that cut away and left him flummoxed. During a 58-run surge, Cameron Green (44, 26b) assaulted Trent Boult and swept R Ashwin for six. Ishan Kishan holed out to a wide delivery from Ashwin, and Green was bowled by a full ball as MI crossed 100 in the eleventh over.

Yadav began his innings by smacking Ashwin for six with the first delivery he faced, and then proceeded to hit boundaries at will. Kuldeep Sen bore the brunt of Yadav’s arsenal as he ripped him for six, four, four, and five not out in the 13th over, which also saw Tilak Varma’s LBW overturned. Sandeep, racing backwards from short fine leg, plucked Yadav’s top edge off Boult out of thin air with 61 needed off 27. David and Varma however found two boundaries in every subsequent over until David’s three sixes secured the game.
