Little-known left-arm spinner Kartik Mishra of SoBo Mumbai Falcons did what some of the high-profile bowlers in T20 cricket could not in recent times.

On Friday afternoon at the Wankhede Stadium, in what was an eagerly awaited Suryakumar Yadav versus Shreyas Iyer clash as much as it was Triumph Knights vs SoBo Mumbai Falcons, 26-year-old Mishra dismissed the former for just one. Mishra clean bowled Suryakumar as the India T20I captain tried to work him on the off side off his back foot. The ball was delivered a bit faster than the batsman expected, disturbing the off-stump.

Winning run continues

Mishra’s vital blow helped Falcons restrict Knights to 145-5. Falcons eventually chased down the target in the last over to win by four wickets and register their third successive victory, inching closer to the semi-finals in their maiden appearance.
