Quinton de Kock had struggled in MI's past four games and there were speculations that he would be dropped for this game. 

The South African justified his side's faith with a brilliant knock of 67 from 39 balls . He didn't let the run rate drop after the early dismissal of his opening partner Rohit Sharma. He engaged in a quick 42-run stand with Suryakumar Yadav and followed it up with a 78-run stand with Ishan Kishan. 

He was dropped by Manish Pandey early-on on graciously accepted the gift with a brilliant innings. (Image Credits: Twitter/@IPL)

Sandeep Sharma gave the early breakthrough to SRH when he captured the huge wicket of Rohit Sharma in just the first over.

Rohit had hit him for a huge six early on but the wily pacer then bowled an away swinger wide outside the off stump. Rohit tried to chase the ball and got an edge. The Umpire had given not out but after loud appeals from the bowler and the wicket-keeper, Warner took the review and the original decision was then overturned.

SunRisers Hyderabad made two changes. Sandeep Sharma came in for the injured Bhuvneshwar Kumar while Siddharth Kaul replaced Khaleel Ahmed. It was interesting as SunRisers Hyderabad was coming into this match after two consecutive wins.

While Sandeep coming in was a forced change, Siddharth Kaul's inclusion was a tactical one as Khaleel Ahmed has leaked runs in their past few matches. (Image Credits: Twitter/@IPL)

Mumbai Indians didn't make any changes from their last match against KXIP, which they had won by 48 runs. There was speculation that Quinton de Kock may be replaced as he had failed to get going in their four matches so far but they kep their faith in the South African. (Image Credits: Twitter/@IPL)
