Ashwani Kumar to Harshit Rana, 1 run, 130 kph, angled across, Harshit Rana waits on it and dabs the ball down to third man by opening the face of the bat. Ashwani Kumar has finished his third over. Four wickets to his name. He should bowl out next. What a debut! Absolute dream...

Ashwani Kumar to Harshit Rana, no run, banged in short, angled across, the batter looks to swat it and misses. The bustle in his run up reminds me of the Aussie pace man - Dirk Nannes. Anyone thinks the same? Or my eyes are getting old?

Ashwani Kumar to Russell, out Bowled!! Ashwani strikes again. MI and their talent scouting is impeccable. Second to none. Was a length ball, kicks on, hits the top of off and middle as Russell tried to swing across the line. Massive wicket again for the young man who has 4 wickets to his credit now. Such a find for MI. They are going berserk at Wankhede. KKR are 8 down. The batter backed away, the ball angled across and hit the top of the sticks. They are going too hard and have kept on losing their wickets. Russell b Ashwani Kumar 5(11) [4s-1]

Ashwani Kumar to Manish Pandey, out Bowled!! The ploy to give a debut to Ashwani Kumar has worked to perfection for MI! The young man picks up a 3-fer! He bowls a scrambled seam back of a length ball on leg-stump. Manish Pandey stays rooted to the crease as he tries to keep it out but leaves a bat-pad gap. The ball goes right through that and hits the top of leg-stump. Manish Pandey b Ashwani Kumar 19(14) [4s-2 6s-1]

Ashwani Kumar to Rinku Singh, out Caught by Naman Dhir!! Another one bites the dust! Rinku Singh once again comes down the track but Ashwani Kumar shortens his length and gets this one to climb on Rinku Singh outside off. He throws his bat at it but ends up slicing it behind square on the off-side. Naman Dhir in the deep moves to his right and takes a well-judged catch. Rinku Singh is livid with himself. His team needed him to stay out there for longer. Rinku Singh c Naman Dhir b Ashwani Kumar 17(14) [4s-1 6s-1]

Ashwani Kumar to Angkrish Raghuvanshi, SIX, what a shot! A back of a length ball on middle and leg, sits up nicely for Angkrish Raghuvanshi. He stands tall and short-arm-jabs it beautifully over long leg to clear the fence. Held his pose after playing it

Ashwani Kumar to Venkatesh Iyer, 1 run, dropped! It would have been a great catch if Santner had taken it. Venkatesh Iyer uses his feet and Ashwani Kumar shortens his length. He swings at it but gets a thick edge that lobs over backward point. Santner moves back and dives but it goes through his hands. He actually overran it a bit

Ashwani Kumar to Rahane, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! What a moment for the young man! Ashwani Kumar strikes off his first ball on his debut! For a moment, it looked like Tilak in the deep has lost it but he held his composure after that. A fuller length ball wide outside off, inviting Rahane to throw his bat at it and he does that. It flies towards deep backward point. Tilak goes at it with hard hands in the first attempt and it pops out. But, he shows good reflexes as he turns back, keeps his eyes on the ball and grabs it with his right hand before tumbling down. Rahane c Tilak Varma b Ashwani Kumar 11(7) [4s-1 6s-1]
