Ishan Kishan’s onslaught on Kuldeep Yadav, Match 41, KKR vs MI
During the match between Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and Mumbai Indians (MI) at Kolkata, Mumbai Indians’ Ishan Kishan thumped four sixes off four balls as he took on Kuldeep Yadav. Kishan came in to bat at No. 4 in the 10th over. Within absolutely no time, he took over proceedings from Rohit Sharma and started dominating the bowling.
Kuldeep Yadav was introduced into the attack in the eighth over. In which was his third over, the 14th of the innings, he conceded 25 runs. Starting from the third ball of the over, Kishan stepped out to sweep the ball over deep square leg for a six. The following delivery saw Kishan sitting down on one knee and thwacking the ball over the deep midwicket region for a towering six.
On the penultimate delivery of the over, Kishan once again stepped out to hit a third consecutive six over the long on region. With this shot, he completed his third IPL half-century (off 17 balls). He used his wrists to hit another humongous six through the midwicket area on the last ball of the over.
