Corey Anderson played for multiple franchises in the IPL but his stint for Mumbai Indians will always remain unforgettable because of the performances that he delivered for the franchise from Mumbai. In this article, we will list out the top 3 performances from Corey Anderson in IPL.
1. 95* vs Rajasthan Royals, 2014
If Corey Anderson would stay alive in the memories of cricket fans, then it would be because of this particular batting miracle that he delivered against Rajasthan Royals playing for Mumbai Indians in 2014. It was the last match in the group stage and Mumbai Indians needed to chase 190 runs in 14.3 overs to make their place in the playoff. The left-handed Kiwi all-rounder wreaked havoc on the Rajasthan Royals bowling unit and guided Mumbai Indians to a historic qualification. This would be arguably the best solo effort from a player in pulling off such a result in an IPL game.
2. 55* vs Kolkata Knight Riders, 2015
This knock was played by Corey Anderson in the inaugural game of the 2015 IPL season against Kolkata Knight Riders at the iconic Eden Gardens. Gautam Gambhir won the toss for Kolkata and invited Mumbai Indians to bat first. Mumbai’s start was not that impressive as they lost 3 wickets in the powerplay but Corey Anderson along with captain Rohit Sharma extracted the team out of crisis. His unbeaten 55-run knock helped Mumbai Indians put up a fighting total on the board and kept the team alive in the contest.
3. 2/18 vs Sunrisers Hyderabad, 2014
Corey Anderson could not find much success with the ball in the IPL but there were few notable bowling performances from him. This particular spell was bowled when he was playing for Mumbai Indians in the 2014 season against Sunrisers Hyderabad. He picked these two wickets in one over which was a bit expensive but the all-rounder did his task by dismissing a couple of batters.
