Santhosh V: "Two uncapped openers scoring their maiden IPL fifties today! Lots of talent being unlocked in this IPL indeed!"

Ayush Badoni or Tilak Varma? Who has the makings of a next-gen star?

Omkar Nawathe: MI is generally a slow starter in the tournament and pick up momentum in the second phase. But this MI looks different. They are very confused this season. Dropping Mills and expecting 4 overs from Pollard is definitely not the good option.

Naman Mathur: "The Unadkat-SKY partnership goes on!"

Ravi: "Looks like RCB are trying to follow SRH's approach to chase the target."

Bangalore would hope Maxwell does an encore of 2021 season: Parthiv Patel

Manohar Babu: "With youngsters making some telling contributions to their respective teams, I hope Anuj does well today to justify his position in this RCB lineup."

Nishant: "Clearly when Siraj was struggling to get the rhythm, why Faf didn't go with Willey in death. Surprised and disappointed."

Piyush: "Didn't understand rationale behind saving Harshal's overs, if he could have gotten the wicket of Surya, inning was over there itself. If you have strangled the neck of an opponent then go for a kill, why to let him recoup."

Anant: "140 could make this contest fun, which isn't too much to ask for with SKY in this form and mood."

Shanmukh: "SKY is a serious threat here. We all know what he can do if RCB cannot take his wicket here."

Important for captain Rohit Sharma to ensure that Mumbai don't hit the panic button: Ajay Jadeja

Harsha Bhogle: MI's body language very unlike them .....

Harsha Bhogle: MI's body language very unlike them .....

Vedant: It's again SKY who has the task of reviving MI, much like the last game.

Cricbuzz Comm Box: Match 18, Bangalore v Mumbai, 1st innings

Sahu: This season is going to be remembered for the chances new Indian players are getting. Addition of two new teams is surely one reason for this but it is a deliberate effort on part of all the teams to give new guys a go. And almost everyone who's got a chance has been impressive.

Saikishore: Good to watch Ishan playing sensibly and accelerating in the latter half of the innings

Ashwin: MI openers setting up a good platform for Baby AB!

Rohit Sharma has to lead Mumbai's turnaround, needs to bat freely: Harsha Bhogle

Harsha: Mumbai has been starting slowly since the start of this season. Loss of wickets may lead to pressure on the middle order. Its time they start playing aggressive while safeguarding their wicket

Sarthak: Yet another chance for India's top two batters Rohit and Kohli to show their class.

Aayush Singhal: Confused as to why MI have dropped Mills. He has been their best bowler by far.
