DRS saves Pollard
What a review that was… MI simply got a boon with that.Huge appeal from Siddharth Kaul and umpire Tapan Sharma was too quick to raise his finger to give Pollard out. But then comes the twist. The MI all-rounder takes DRS and guess what, he returns after almost having left the field. Why??? Because the ball tracking says it was missing the wickets. Too much drama in such a short span of time. MI: 139/3 after 11 overs.

Kaul to Ishan Kishan: FOUR, FOUR, FOUR, FOUR
That's how you bat in a crucial game when you want to have too many runs to win by a margin of 170+ runs. Four consecutive boundaries in just the second over and Siddharth Kaul looks frustrated.
