Dinesh Karthik's balls per review might be lower than his balls per boundary

Jasprit Bumrah's economy rate off full tosses might be lower than the ER off yorkers of several bowlers

Today is the first time that Hardik Pandya bowled as the 7th bowler in an IPL innings

Mohammad Nabi bowling the first over for MI was just the 3rd instance of Mumbai opening the bowling with a spinner in their last 81 IPL games. Given the RCB openers' records vs off spin, it wasn't a bad idea

Kohli's SR: 93.36

Bowling left-arm orthodox to Shubman Gill assuming it'd be a positive matchup is a rookie mistake

Gill vs SLA in IPL: 4 dismissals, 96.8 avg, 137.2 SR

Rajasthan Royals are fielding a spin attack that has 1198 international wickets amongst them

Meanwhile, RCB have not been able to field a frontline international spinner in their last four games

Shubman Gill when asked how does he balance batting and captaincy: 'Batting is easy'
