IPL 2020, KXIP vs MI: MI Player Ratings

Rohit Sharma has been in frightening form in IPL 2020 [PC: iplt20.com]

Rohit Sharma: 8/10

Rohit started off in circumspect fashion, but accelerated after Ishan Kishan's dismissal to reach a score of 70 off just 45 balls. Although an excellent relay catch on the boundary sent him back just when he was looking dangerous, the MI captain did enough to ensure that his team put a massive total on the board.

Quinton de Kock: 1/10

The failures keep mounting for Quinton de Kock, who is yet to make a mark on IPL 2020. He got a delightful outswinger from Sheldon Cottrell, but we've seen him get out in this exact fashion on numerous occasions. The South African white-ball captain is under immense pressure at the moment with Chris Lynn on the bench and Kishan ready to don the gloves.

---

Suryakumar Yadav: 4/10

Yadav looked promising in the 10 balls that he was at the crease, but yet another run out curtailed his innings. The MI No. 3 is in excellent touch, but he just isn't capitalising on his form due to silly errors. He shelled a tough chance in the field, but made a couple of flying stops.

---

Ishan Kishan: 4/10

After his heroic 99-run knock against RCB, Kishan struggled for the entirety of his 32-ball 28. Unable to time or middle the ball, the young wicket-keeper eventually holed out in the deep off Krishnappa Gowtham.

---

Hardik Pandya: 8/10

Pandya's superb 11-ball 30, which featured 3 fours and 2 sixes, played a major role in taking MI to a huge total. The all-rounder's ability to go after the bowling from ball one and his dynamism in the field are major assets for MI in IPL 2020, although he is yet to bowl in the tournament.

---

Krunal Pandya: 7/10

The elder Pandya didn't get to bat in yet another game, but bowled an excellent spell today as he conceded just 27 runs. The left-arm spinner picked up his first wicket of IPL 2020 - Karun Nair - and was pumped throughout his spell.

---

Kieron Pollard: 8.5/10

Pollard followed up his blitz against RCB with yet another enterprising 20-ball 47. Hitting 3 fours and 4 sixes (with 3 of them coming off the final 3 balls of the MI innings), the big West Indian put in a crucial performance that saw him walk away with the Man of the Match award.

---

James Pattinson: 7/10

Pattinson struggled with the new ball, but made an excellent comeback in his second spell to pick up the wickets of the dangerous Nicholas Pooran and Sarfaraz Khan. The Aussie pacer has certainly exceeded expectations since signing for the team as a replacement for Lasith Malinga.

---

Rahul Chahar: 7.5/10

Chahar was the pick of the MI bowlers against RCB, and he followed it up with another excellent display of leg-spin bowling. Dismissing KL Rahul and tormenting Glenn Maxwell before sending the mercurial Aussie back to the hut, the youngster finished with figures of 2/26 in his 4 overs.

---

Trent Boult: 4/10

Boult had a off-night against KXIP as he finished with figures of 1/42 in his 4 overs. With little swing on offer, the left-armer didn't do too well in the powerplay, and also leaked a few runs at the death against Krishnappa Gowtham.

---

Jasprit Bumrah: 9/10

Bumrah has blown hot and cold in IPL 2020 so far, and this was certainly one of his best games in the recent past. The Indian spearhead got rid of the in-form Mayank Agarwal in the powerplay and later returned to prise out Jimmy Neesham, finishing with figures of 2/18 in his 4 overs.
