Where was Mumbai Indians (MI) hiding Romario Shepherd till now? the West Indian batter who came into the playing XI for the IPL clash against the Delhi Capitals (DC) bludgeoned his way to a quick-fire 10-ball 39 which propelled the home team to a colossal 234/5.

Shepherd hammers Nortje for 32

The MI all-rounder hammered 32 runs in the last over of Anrich Nortje and took the South African pacers to the cleaners. Nortje has had a poor IPL season so far, but this was hitting of the highest order as the DC bowler looked helpless in the last over.

Mumbai Indians were 202/5 in the 19th over, and Nortje was expected to finish his quota on a high. However, Shepherd had some other plans as he hammered Nortje for 4, 6, 6, 6, 4, 6 and lit up the Wankhede stadium with some breath-taking strokes. He ended the innings with an MS Dhoni style helicopter shot to mesmerise the fans.

Shepherd's innings made sure that Mumbai recovered well from the jitters and slow run-rate they suffered in the middle-overs.

Talking about the MI innings, Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan gave flying start to their side. Rohit was dismissed for a well-compiled 49, while Kishan made 42. Tim David played some delightful strokes, but it was the finishing touches of Shepherd that changed the course of the match for the home side.
