Mumbai Indians’ young wicket-keeper batsman Ishan Kishan was in splendid form with the bat yesterday. Coming in to bat at number four, he took down the RCB bowlers singlehandedly and almost pulled off an un-imaginable victory, if not for the loss in the super overs. This super-man innings from his earned him a lot of fans and admirers on social media. Many of them started praising him for his valiant efforts. The most satisfying massage among them came from his rumoured girlfriend, Aditi Hundia.
Chasing a humungous total of 202, Mumbai Indians were struck with early blows as their captain Rohit Sharma, Surya Kumar Yadav and opener Quinton De Kock departed early to the stunning bowling of RCB bowlers. Reeling at 78 for 4 in the 12th over young Ishan Kishan and experienced campaigned Kieron Pollard took charge of the rescue operations. Kishan batted through the entire second half scoring 99 runs before getting caught in the deep in the fifth ball of the last over. Needing 90 from the last five overs, things almost looked impossible for the defending champions. But Kishan and Pollard made sure that they give a tough fight and hence ended just one run short of victory. The game then finally went to the super over, and there it was Kohli’s men in red that held their nerves better and came out victorious. Since then a picture ‘Ishan Kishan’ is surfacing on the internet where he can be seen as being disappointed with not being able to take his side home.

“I am so so proud of you baby.”
