Shivam Mavi Impressed One And All: As Mumbai started taking the Kolkata bowlers to the cleaners, someone had to take a stand. Their best bowling option was thrashed mercilessly as Pat Cummins was smoked for 49 runs from his quota of 3 overs.
Kuldeep Yadav was mediocre too, still clueless about his surroundings, and got hammered by Saurabh Tiwary and Suryakumar Yadav.
The man who defied the fluidity of Mumbai batting was the youngster Shivam Mavi. Starting his spell with a brilliant wicket maiden that saw him remove Quinton De Kock, he followed it up with some mesmerizing bowling right until the end.
He mixed his pace and came back strongly in the death overs keeping big guns like Kieron Pollard mum. He moved the ball by a significant bit leaving the Mumbai batsmen stranded and dazed.
Twitter lauded the efforts of the youngster whole-heartedly. Here are the best tweets on Shivam Mavi.
The first tweet read, “Mavi was the top performers with the ball he was extremely good in the death over.”

Another fan posted expecting Nagarkoti, tweeting, “Shivam Mavi bowled exceptionally well and people were questioning his selection.
If they had played Nagarkoti, I don’t think he’d have performed better than that.
Warrier can be replaced now and Mavi + Nagarkoti would be much better.”

The final tweet read, “Mumbai Indians have put a very good total on the board.
Cummins didn’t start the #IPL2020 well. However, Shivam Mavi was quite imposing! ?
Are you backing #KKR to chase it down?”
