SRH vs MI: Ishan Kishan smokes Rashid Khan for 104m six in blistering 84-run knock; Watch

As MI vs SRH match is underway in Abu Dhabi, Mumbai Indians opener Ishan Kishan on Friday went berserk and provided a perfect platform for his team to post a big total in their final league match. Mumbai Indians need to script history against the SunRisers Hyderabad in order to qualify for the IPL 2021 playoffs.

To qualify for the playoffs, Mumbai Indians need to beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by 171 runs. If they do so, their net run-rate will become better than KKR, who are currently at fourth spot. 

Ishan Kishan's fiery knock of 84 runs saw him smack one of the best T20 bowlers, Rashid Khan, for a monstrous six. During the start of the 7th over of the innings, Rashid Khan came on to bowl against Ishan Kishan, who was smashing almost every bowler of the SRH line-up.

The 23-year-old leg spinner bowled a full-length delivery. However, Kishan who had already cleared his front leg, smashed the ball for a monstrous six of 104m.
