Mumbai Indians registered a nine-wicket victory over Delhi Capitals in their reverse fixture at the Dubai International Stadium.

With this win, MI secured their position in the top two at the points table. The men in Blue and Gold put up a brilliant all-round performance with the bat and ball to record their first win in Dubai.

Ishan Kishan was awarded the Man of the Match for his knock. Kieron Pollard was glad about the team’s performance at the post-match presentation ceremony.

Ishan Kishan: I wanted to keep my shape and hit sixes

“The ball wasn't coming on so I had to keep rotating the strike and then take them apart later. It all depends on the practice sessions and how you train. I wanted to keep my shape and hit sixes. Credit goes to my mom for giving me good food. Sometimes even I wonder, where all the power is coming from. I'm working hard in the nets too. Rahul (Sanghvi) sir told me that I need to work on my off-side shots so I've been working on that this season and thankfully it's showing in the match situation now. I enjoy batting everywhere. Wherever the management wants me to bat, I'm good with that.”

Kieron Pollard: Once Ishan gets going, he's hard to get rid of

“I kept delaying Bumrah. In this kind of track, it was more useful to bowl him in the middle overs and he did really well. We had a few extra spinners so wanted to use them with the new ball to see if they can get some grip. Ishan has gotten better in every game, and once he gets going, he's hard to get rid of. He didn't even start in the initial games. Rohit is getting better and hopefully, he'll be back soon. We need to play another couple of good games and get to the final.”
