Injury scare for Mumbai Indians as their opener Rohit Sharma decided to get up from the ground with a troubled leg. He seems to have some discomfort in his hamstring. After a while, the batter decided to leave.

Suryakumar Yadav joins Ryan Rickelton in the middle, Rohit Sharma has retired. Will he be able to return later in tonight’s game? At the moment, it is difficult to know. From now on he will have to count on the help of the team physio.

Rohit Sharma might have felt tightness in his hamstring

This can be a big blow for Mumbai Indians as they are chasing a mammoth target of 241 runs in the second innings as Royal Challengers Bengaluru, who batted first, posted 240 runs at the Wankhede Stadium. When Sharma came out from cover, Mumbai Indians were all out for 57 and Sharma had 19 runs off 13 deliveries.

Rohit Sharma’s injury occurred at a crucial time in the chase. Suryakumar Yadav took over the crease to replace the injured batsman. However, the intensity that the RCB batsmen showed against the MI blowers, the Mumbai batsmen, especially the top order batsmen, have not achieved it so far. Yadav started his innings promisingly but could not turn it into a lasting knock.

Hardik Pandya showed some talent against Royal Challengers Bengaluru’s bowling department.

After scoring 33 runs in 22 balls, with the help of five 4s, he departed. Ryan Rickelton was dismissed for 37 runs off 22 balls. The South African international smashed three 4s and three 6s in his knock.

From the middle order, Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya showed some much-needed flair but that didn’t last long either as Jacob Duffy took the wicket. Pandya departed after scoring 40 runs off 22 balls.

Josh Hazlewood out, Jacob Duffy comes in for RCB

Taking lessons from the loss against Rajasthan Royals in the previous match, the defending champions again included Jacob Duffy in their bowling group, replacing Josh Hazlewood, who played the last match against Rajasthan Royals. Spinner Suyash Sharma is also marking his way back into the playing mix for tonight’s match against Mumbai Indians.

Rohit Sharma did not come to resume his batting in the latter part of the chase. Fans are waiting for news from the franchise regarding the injury status of their star hitter.

Meanwhile, maintaining dominance over the home team, Royal Challengers Bengaluru registered a resounding victory tonight in Mumbai. Their first innings total of 240 proved enough to defeat the five-time IPL winners.

Due to Sherfane Rutherford’s late attack, MI posted a respectable total against the mammoth target. In 20 overs, losing 5 wickets, MI scored 222 runs in their innings and allowed RCB to claim the match by 18 runs. The crowd at the Wankhede stadium witnessed an entertaining clash between the two titans of the league.
