In what was the 1000th match in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL), Mumbai Indians chased down a gigantic target of 213 runs against Rajasthan Royals to keep themselves in the hunt for a spot in the playoffs. The victory was MI's 4th from 8 matches while RR squandered the opportunity to regain the top spot in the points table with the defeat. It was Yashasvi Jaiswal who scored his maiden IPL ton to set the perfect stage for the Royals but Tim David and Suryakumar Yadav's heroics at the end enable MI to take two points from the game.

Chasing a mammoth target of 213 runs, Mumbai completed the target in the final over, courtesy of Tim David's blitzkrieg at the end. However, after the conclusion of the match, it was skipper Rohit Sharma, also celebrating his 36th birthday, who looked to smash a few sixes outside the field as he spoke to the presenter Harsha Bhogle.

It is India's second medal at the tournament after 1965 and their first in the men's doubles category.

The Indian Premier League has reached its midway stage with Faf du Plessis firing on all cylinders, Rinku Singh achieving a miracle and MS Dhoni's Chennai Super Kings top of the table. AFP Sport pinpoints five highlights so far of the current edition of the lucrative Twenty20 tournament, which reaches its climax on May 28.
Tim David emerged as the hero for Mumbai Indians as the all-rounder slammed three sixes in three balls to guide his team to victory over Rajasthan Royals in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter on Sunday. With 17 runs needed from the final over, the ball was handed to Jason Holder but the start was not as expected. David slammed the first ball straight down the ground for a six and then followed it up with another maximum through mid-wicket. The pressure was completely on the West Indies international and the third ball was also dispatched over the deep square leg fielder for the final six. The crowd erupted in cheers and even Sachin Tendulkar could be seen smiling.
Andre Russell was left fuming and Kolkata Knight Riders skipper Nitish Rana could nothing but stare blankly as Suyash Sharma squandered a massive chance to dismiss David Miller in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 encounter against Gujarat Titans on Saturday. The mistake came back to haunt the hosts as they were defeated by seven wickets. With the match precariously placed, Miller miscued a delivery from Russell and the ball went high up in the air. Suyash was able to take the perfect position but the youngster could not hold on to the catch. Russell was expectedly frustrated by the blunder and Miller later played a massive role in guaranteeing GT's victory at Eden Gardens.
