Man OF The Match
Abhinav Manohar got the Man of the Match Award for his exceptional and power-hitting skills. He did his job amazingly and never gave a chance to MI bowlers to come back. He scored 42 runs off just 21 balls with 3 fours and 3 sixes. At some point, it was looking that GT would finish at around 170-180 runs but Abhinav performed really very well for his team.
Highest Scorer Batsman
Shubhman Gill remains the highest scorer of this match by scoring 56 runs off 34 balls. He has given GT a solid start, which they are looking for. In this inning, he smashed 7 fours and 1 six. He was precise with his timing and did attack only on poor balls.
Highest Wicket Taker
Noor Ahmed remains the highest wicket-taker for this match who picked 3 crucial wickets of Chris Green, Suryakumar Yadav, and Tim David. He stuck to his line even after getting smashed and that’s why he played a critical role for his team.
