MI batters could not find their rhythm once more as the side lost Ryan Rickelton (2) and Suryakumar Yada (0) in the third over with just 12 runs on the board. Quinton de Kock and Naman Dhir (50 off 31) added 112 runs for the third wicket but that was the last significant partnership in MI's innings. After Dhir was dismissed, no other batter could help de Kock take the innings further as he scored a brilliant 112 not out off 60 balls. In contrast to de Kock, rest of the team managed only 83 runs in 60 balls.
