IPL 2020, MI vs RR: MI Player Ratings

Suryakumar Yadav finally converted a start into a big score [PC: iplt20.com]

Rohit Sharma: 6.5/10

Rohit scored a good-looking 35 off 23 balls, but fell victim to a leg-spinner once again in the IPL. The MI captain was excellent as usual with his field placements and his bowling changes, and his team are now comfortably placed at the top of the points table.

---

Quinton de Kock: 6/10

De Kock continued from where he left off in the last game and scored 23 runs from 15 balls, but was hurried on the pull by young Tyagi. The South African opener must make the most of the form that he has only recently found, as his shot-selection has left a lot to be desired on occasions.

---

Suryakumar Yadav: 9/10

Yadav was the star of the show with the bat for MI as he top-scored with an unbeaten 79. The No. 3 finally converted a start into a big score, and a few more performances like this might turn the selectors' heads ahead of the T20 World Cup. He didn't take to the field after suffering a blow to the head, but he should be fit for the next game.

---

Ishan Kishan: 0.5/10

Kishan walked in at the fall of his captain's wicket, and inexplicably decided to go for the big one off his very first ball. He understandably holed out, and why he thought the shot was a good idea is something only he knows.

---

Hardik Pandya: 7/10

Pandya once again added the finishing touches to the MI innings, and his partnership with Yadav played a massive role in the team reaching a comfortably above par total. The all-rounder hasn't bowled yet in IPL 2020, and when he returns in that department, he'll be arguably MI's biggest match-winner.

---

Krunal Pandya: 3/10

Krunal was promoted to No. 5 after his heroics in the previous game, but he could only manage a scratchy 12 off 17. The left-arm spinner's two overs went for 22 runs as well, capping off a poor overall performance.

---

Kieron Pollard: 6.5/10

Despite his heroics in MI's previous games, Pollard was demoted to No. 7 and didn't get to bat in this game. The West Indian took a good catch to get rid of RR dangerman Jos Buttler, and chipped in with a wicket in his 2 overs as well.

---

James Pattinson: 8/10

Pattinson put in another understated, consistent performance for MI. The Aussie quick finished with figures of 2/19 in his 3.1 overs, and picked up the most important wicket of Buttler.

---

Rahul Chahar: 7/10

After a nightmare outing in the previous game at Sharjah, Chahar made a good comeback to take the wicket of Mahipal Lomror. The leg-spinner finished with figures of 1/24 in his 3 overs on a pitch that didn't offer much turn, but his task was made easier by the failures of the RR top order.

---

Trent Boult: 8/10

Boult has been another consistent performer for MI in IPL 2020, and he scalped the wickets of Jaiswal and Samson today. The left-armer has been lethal with the new ball and more than useful at many other stages of the innings.

---

Jasprit Bumrah: 9/10

Bumrah registered his best-ever IPL figures in this game - 4/20 in his 4 overs. Although he received some stick at the hands of Archer in his final over, he was undoubtedly the best bowler on display in this game.
