Strategic Break. The early swing has waned away for the pacers and the openers of Mumbai Indians have dealt with the early phase with good mix of caution and aggression. Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton both looked a bit tentative earlier on, but have found their groove and have struck boundaries, helping MI to boss up the powerplay. RR introduced early spin to trap the batters, though Theekshana created a couple of half chances, they haven't found a wicket yet. It has looked like a good track to bat on, and we have already seen the seamers taking the pace off the ball. Well then, more spin to break their rhythm. Here's Kumar Kartikeya into the attack. He replaces Jofra Archer.
