Twitter reacts to Mumbai Indians winning three games in a row to rise to fourth
Mumbai Indians looked like a team on a mission to make it to the playoffs as they won comfortably against Kolkata Knightriders and moved into the top 4. The Twitterati had nothing but praise for Ishan Kishan who went berserk and scored a brilliant 62 off 21 balls to take the game away from Kolkata.
Brief scores: Mumbai Indians 210/6 (Ishan Kishan 62, Rohit Sharma 36; Piyush Chawla 3/48, Sunil Narine 1/27) beat Kolkata Knight Riders 108/10 (Nitish Rana 21, Chris Lynn 21; Hardik Pandya 2/16, Krunal Pandya 2/12) by 102 runs.
What did this guy have for breakfast!

Now that's how you announce to the selectors that you are ready!
Didnโt bat in the last game, asked to float in early today.. Up against one of the best spin attacks in a must win game - Ishan Kishanโs knock today was as good as it gets. In a line up full of superstars, the kid stole the show! ๐๐ป๐๐ป #KKRvMI

That is a good headache to have!
There was a time when india didnโt have any wicket keeper who can bat. Now we have 7 who can play purely as a batsman.
