MI vs RCB | Twitter Goes Wild After Salt’s Brutal Assault on MI

Phil Salt faced a lot of questions on his form before the match against Mumbai Indians. Some fans even called for the team to drop Salt from this game and pick Jacob Bethell in place of him. And what's the best way for a batsman to answer the trolls, it is his batting style. So, Phil Salt decided to do so in the match against Mumbai Indians.

This match was taking place at the Wankhede Stadium, and RCB were sent to bat first. Against bowlers such as Hardik Pandya, Shardul Thakur, Trent Boult, and Jasprit Bumrah, a comeback would be challenging. But Phil Salt was in a different zone in this game, as he dominated all of them with ease.

He went on to score 78 runs for the team in just 36 balls, which included 6 fours and 6 sixes. RCB posted 240 runs on the board and even defended the same, winning by 18 runs. Eventually, Phil Salt received the POTM award for his aggressive knock in this game.

Here's how Twitter has reacted to Salt’s knock.

Bollywood Reference

This post perfectly describes how Virat Kohli was feeling as he watched Phil Salt from the other end. He just had to take singles as he watched the remainder of the over being a run fest by Salt.

He is the Danger

Before the game, several fans said that Salt's position would be in danger. But watching him bat made them think that he is the real danger.

Out of Syllabus

Mumbai Indians were preparing for the ways in which they could get rid of Kohli. But Phil Salt definitely came out of the syllabus for the team.
