For 13 seasons before this one in the Indian Premier League (IPL), no bowler had taken a five-wicket haul against Mumbai Indians (MI). In their first two games of the ongoing 14th season, IPL 2021, there have already been two five-wicket hauls against them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The best bowling spell against the five-time champions MI until the start of this season was incidentally by their current skipper Rohit Sharma in 2009 at Centurion who was back then with the now-defunct Deccan Chargers. Sharma had then taken four wickets for six runs as he ran through the middle and lower order of MI.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In the first two matches of the ongoing season, however, MI has conceded five wickets to Royal Challengers Bangalore's Harshal Patel (5\/27) in the tournament opener and to Kolkata Knight Riders' medium-pacer Andre Russell (5\/15) on Tuesday night.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Patel ran through the MI's power-packed middle and lower order on Friday night as he scalped Ishan Kishan, Hardik Pandya, Kieron Pollard, Krunal Pandya, and Marco Jansen.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
On Tuesday, Russell dismissed batsmen Nos. 6-10, taking only two overs to do the damage and scalp his five victims. The West Indian Russell got rid of Pollard, Krunal Pandya, Marco Jansen, Rahul Chahar and Jasprit Bumrah.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
In both the matches, MI's strong batting line-up was restricted to scores in the 150s - 159 vs Royal challengers Bangalore and 152 vs Kolkata Knight Riders.<\/p>\r\n", "image": "https:\/\/img.cricketnmore.com\/uploads\/2021\/04\/after-no-fifer-against-them-in-13-years,-mi-concede-2-in-2.jpg", "alt_img": "Cricket Image for IPL 2021: After No Fifer Against Them In 13 Years, MI Concede 2 In 2", "alt_title": "IPL 2021: After No Fifer Against Them In 13 Years, MI Concede 2 In 2", "image1": "", "video": "", "seo_title": "IPL 2021: After No Fifer Against Them In 13 Years, MI Concede 2 In 2 On Cricketnmore", "seo_desc": "For 13 seasons before this one in the Indian Premier League (IPL), no bowler had taken a five-wicket haul against Mumbai Indians (MI).
