IPL 2018, MI vs CSK: 5 talking points

#4 Yadav, Ishan Kishan, and Krunal Pandya impressive with the bat, Lewis fails on his debut

Krunal Pandya struck some hefty blows late in the innings

Put in to bat by MS Dhoni, Mumbai Indians lost their openers early. Evin Lewis lasted only two balls in the middle. It was game to forget for the West Indies opener.

On the other hand, Mumbai Indians middle-order stood up to the task. Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Krunal Pandya were brilliant on the night. The trio notched up scores of 40+ each and held the Mumbai Indians' innings together.

Yadav continued from where he left off in the Indian domestic season while Ishan Kishan showed why Mumbai Indians paid huge money for him. Mumbai Indians middle-order looks like a force to reckon with.
