Let’s examine some of the game’s highlights:
1. Trent Boult eliminates MI’s starting lineup
The left-arm seamer picked up a handful of wickets early on, carrying on his tradition of bringing the opposition to their knees in the first over itself. As he edged a ball straight to the wicketkeeper, Boult dismissed Rohit Sharma for a golden duck. Following 2.2 overs, he removed Dewald Brevis and Naman Dhir as well, leaving MI reeling at 14/3. His statistics in four overs were 3/22 as a consequence.

2. With two strikes, Aakash Madhwal keeps MI in the match.
Madhwal, who dazzled everyone in his initial season, returned to form in the opening match of the 2024 edition, securing MI’s aspirations with three strikes. The right-arm seamer claimed the much sought-after scalps of Ravichandran Ashwin (16 off 16), Jos Buttler (13 off 16), and Sanju Samson (12 off 10). Even though the 30-year-old concluded with figures of 3/20 in four overs, he was unable to save his team from losing.
