IPL 2018, RR vs MI: 5 reasons why Mumbai lost

#3 Gowtham’s stunning assault

K Gowtham came to the crease with the Rajasthan Royals in a desperate need of a miracle. With 43 needed off 17 balls, Gowtham got himself going by belting the frugal Mustafizur for a four and a six. He then smashed Jasprit Bumrah for a couple of boundaries in the next over.

With 10 needed off 5 balls, Gowtham ramped Pandya for a four over the short third man. He was so confident of his striking abilities that he even refused to take the single next ball. The next ball was deposited o for a massive six and the Mumbai attack were left in disbelief of what had hit them.
