Just before the first free-hit ball you can see Kohli asking the square leg ump whether the 'two bouncers per over' is up or not. Once he knew it was not going to be a bouncer, he waited for non-bouncer lengths, stayed still and hit them through the line. Just brilliantly done.

Rather than deviation off the pitch it's the deception in the air from Mystery Spinner Abrar Ahmed that's troubled the England batters. 7-fer on Debut. For his Googly both the Ring and Pinky fingers pop out where as the Leg-Break is pretty traditional. Clever mix and use of both.

David Warner's intent has not been an issue this IPL- he’s just struggled to find power & timing. Warner's Attack Rating is 171 (3rd highest) while his Timing & Power Ratings are 121 & 48, both lowest among batters who’ve faced >80 balls. This has resulted in low boundary% & SR.
