Today, Jonny Bairstow showed his brilliant presence of mind to send Ishan Kishan packing and then Keiron Pollard went into demolition mode which helped Mumbai Indians reach a fighting total of 136. Twitterati quickly started tweeting about Bairstow's brilliance and Pollard's ruthless hitting.

Hats off for that effort!

Aha, Bairstow realised he clipped the bail so knew he had to take the stump out.

Or just demolished them as usual because he's a yeti in gloves #iplt20

Warner has come a long way from the Sandpaper incident!

My favourite thing about that run out was Warner seeing Bairstow knock the bails off prematurely and signal not out #SRHvMI

That throw from Shankar was converted into a wicket and that is why Bairstow should be hailed!

Excellent whacking of the Stumps from Bairstow to run out Kishan as he makes a desperate dive but fails to reach the crease. Not a good throw from Shankar, still a good effort.. MI are falling apart further. #SRHvMI

Scary!

Johnny Bairstow will take this form and confidence into the World Cup. He is going to make a huge impact there . Teams beware of this guy !
