Follow UsTrent Boult would have struck for the 31st time in the first over of an IPL innings had MI skipper Hardik Pandya reviewed in their clash against LSG on April 4 (Friday). The left-arm seamer got the ball to move the right amount away from the right-handed Mitchell Marsh in the very first over.
While there was no evident sound, further replays confirmed that the right-hander had gotten a thick inside edge on that delivery, which would have given MI the crucial breakthrough in the powerplay. It, however, gave one of the best moments of the clash, as Boult, who was fielding, was left bemused.
The right-hander would have walked off for a four-ball four had Mumbai reviewed that decision. Across the last three encounters, Marsh hasn’t had the best of outings at the Ekana International Cricket Stadium, with his previous two scores being 0 (1) and 0 (1).
Ironically, on the previous occasion, the right-hander got out off the first ball against left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, trying to push the ball towards the leg side.
