Epic thriller

The game between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab saw a ‘double’ super over after the normal match ended in a tie. In the first super over, Jasprit Bumrah restricted Kings XI Punjab to just five runs but in an incredible exhibition of bowling, Mohammed Shami also restricted Mumbai Indians to five runs. In the next Super Over, Chris Jordan was tasked to bowl to Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya and Mumbai Indians managed 11 runs. The total would have been far higher had Mayank Agarwal not stopped a six at long on.

For Mumbai Indians, Trent Boult stepped up to bowl but he could not contain Chri Gayle and Mayank Agarwal, with the Universe Boss slamming a six and Agarwal finishing the match off with two boundaries. Currently, Kings XI Punjab have won three games on the trot and are fifth in the points table while Mumbai Indians are in the second position.

However, on that freakish day, Riana Lalwani stole the show and became an internet sensation.
