Giving Shubhaman a life proved costly

Earlier, when Shubhaman Gill was playing on 35 runs, he also got a life. Gill played a big shot without reaching the ball in Ashwani Kumar's over. The ball went very high in the air. Tilak Verma, running from long-on, reached the ball easily but dropped the catch. However, Ashwin tried to bring Mumbai back by dismissing Jos Buttler (30) on the very next ball but failed. Shubman Gill along with Sherfane Rutherford (28) put Mumbai under pressure. Gill was bowled by Bumrah after scoring 43 runs.
