NEW DELHI : Mumbai Indians hope Tim David's spectacular power-hitting display against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday shows the Australian can fill the void left by Kieron Pollard's retirement last year.
A number of Mumbai Indians players returned to top form in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 match against Rajasthan Royals on Sunday. In what was a high-scoring thriller, a number of MI players got respectable scores, including the likes of Cameron Green, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma and Tim David. However, the skipper Rohit Sharm couldn't make the most of batting-friendly conditions as he could only muster up 3 runs from 5 balls. However, a few videos of Rohit's dismissal have surfaced on social media, prompting fans to investigate whether the MI skipper actually out.
He once lived in tents and sold street food to pursue his cricketing dream. Now, sizzling talent Yashasvi Jaiswal is the toast of the Indian Premier League. On Sunday the Indian 21-year-old smashed 124 off 62 balls for Rajasthan Royals in front of a huge crowd in Mumbai, the city he moved to as a child from a poor family in Uttar Pradesh. "What a story, what a special talent. Yashasvi Jaiswal is a superstar in the making," former Australia batsman and ex-IPL coach Tom Moody tweeted.
On the occasion of his 36th birthday, Rohit Sharma saw his team Mumbai Indians clinch a thrilling victory over Rajasthan Royals in a high-scoring encounter. 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.
Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma on Sunday said it was heartening to see his team chase down a big total set by Rajasthan Royals and also praised rival batter Yashasvi Jaiswal, saying he was surprised with the power the youngster packed in his strokes. Jaiswal's blazing 124-run knock helped the Royals score 212 for seven. The 21-year-old had 16 boundaries and eight sixes from the 62 deliveries he faced. Despite the young opener's knock, the Royals lost the match by six wickets with three deliveries to spare.
