Morris hits Keiron Pollard’s helmet
In the 18th over of the MI innings, South African all-rounder Chris Morris bowled a tough ball to Pollard and he dodged it with his helmet and it went down all the way to the boundary topes, which even Sanju running towards it couldn’t stop. The ball ran away to the fine leg and it got hilarious when Pollard started cheering for the ball to go the ropes.

What went wrong for Rajasthan Royals in MI vs RR?
After losing their 4 overseas players, Ben Stokes, Jofra Archer, Liam Livingstone, and Andrew Tye for the remaining of the IPL 2021, they are struggling to find good form. Although, the team has got a stable opening pair and Samson has been scoring runs. But, the team needs a change in their batting order and Miller and Parag need to be promoted for posting a good total on the board. They do not have too many bowling options in the squad and the present bowlers have given their best for the team.
