Jasprit Bumrah gave a reminder to everyone about his impeccable ability to bowl in limited overs cricket as he returned with figures of 5/10 in Mumbai Indians' match against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Ravichandran Ashwin says the work done on his batting technique before the start of the season has yielded results in the Indian Premier League (IPL) where Rajasthan Royals (RR) have given him the opportunity to bat higher up the order. Batting at No. 3, Ashwin smashed a 38-ball 50 against Delhi Capitals (DC) here on Wednesday night, albeit in a losing cause. "No license has been given. From the starting of the season it was communicated to me properly that I will be used as a batter up the order. We had a few practice games where I opened also. "Have worked a lot on my batting, so it's nice to see whatever has been worked on translates into the field," the veteran off-spinner said during the post-match press conference.
Shane Watson had said a few days ago that Mumbai Indians had a shocking auction and paying Rs 15.25 crores for Ishan Kishan was a big mistake. "So much money on Ishan Kishan… He is a brilliant and skilled player, but he's not worth spending your whole contract on," Watson, a former IPL superstar and an assistant coach of Delhi Capitals, had said. Kishan has had an up-and-down season, scoring 321 runs at a strike-rate of 117 as Mumbai languish at the bottom of the table. The Jharkhand keeper-batsman did agree that price tag is a pressure, albeit for the first few days. "Yes, it's there initially but they you realize that you are not responsible for your price tag. If someone has thought you are good enough, they have paid that amount of money," Kishan said ahead of Mumbai's match against CSK on Thursday.
Delhi Capitals' skipper Rishabh Pant on Wednesday said opening batter Prithvi Shaw could be suffering from typhoid.
