Meanwhile, it was a night to remember for MI. They would realise that they did not start their campaign well, but the way they have bounced back is truly commendable. 

Why The Sanitizer?

Batting first, MI put on a challenging 180 for five in their quota of 20 overs. With 73* off 43 balls, Suryakumar Yadav was MI's top-scorer. Rohit fell early for five runs. The Delhi Capitals failed to showcase dominance from the get-go after their openers, KL Rahul and Faf du Plessis, were dismissed early. Walking in at No. 3, wicketkeeper-batter Abhishek Porel perished early for six runs. 

Sameer Rizvi and Vipraj Nigam tried to pull things back by stitching together a partnership, but that didn't last long as they ended up losing. For the unversed, MI have not just made it to the playoff, but also have a shot at finishing top of the table.
