Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma termed Jasprit Bumrah's maiden five-wicket haul in the IPL as a special effort but rued the performance of his team's batters, who failed to chased down a "par score" against Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday. MI rode on Bumrah's 5 for 10 to restrict KKR to 165 for nine but flopped big time with the bat, barring Ishan Kishan (51 off 43) to lose by 52 runs.
Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma was a frustrated man on Monday. After his team restricted Kolkata Knight Riders to 165/9 in 20 overs, a lot was expected of Rohit Sharma -- the batter. However, he could not contribute much. Rohit fell for just two off six balls in the first over of the chase, bowled by KKR pacer Tim Southee. More than the score, it was his dismissal that created a lot of buzz. To add to it, MI lost the game by a massive 52 runs for their ninth loss of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022.
Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma termed Jasprit Bumrah's maiden five-wicket haul in the IPL as a special effort but rued the performance of his team's batters, who failed to chased down a "par score" against Kolkata Knight Riders on Monday. MI rode on Bumrah's 5 for 10 to restrict KKR to 165 for nine but flopped big time with the bat, barring Ishan Kishan (51 off 43) to lose by 52 runs. "Bumrah was special today. But I'm disappointed with the way we batted. I thought it was a par score on that pitch but it was a little poor from the bat from us," a disappointed Rohit said at the post-match presentation ceremony.
Kolkata Knight Riders finally found the team balance they were looking for to outclass Mumbai Indians by 52 runs in Mavi Mumbai on Monday and keep their slim IPL play-off hopes alive. Lead Mumbai Indians pacer Jasprit Bumrah picked up his maiden five-wicket haul in IPL history to restrict KKR to 165 for nine after fine knocks from Venkatesh Iyer (43 off 24) and Nitish Rana (43 off 24). Barring a 43-ball 51 from Ishan Kishan, Mumbai batters struggled to get going in the chase as their innings ended at 113 all out in 17.3 overs.
Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma can tweak the combination of the team and replace Kumar Kartikeya with Arjun Tendulkar for their game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Mumbai in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) on Monday. In the last two games where MI secured wins, Kumar didn't get an opportunity with the bat and went for plenty runs with the ball. This could prompt Rohit to bring in the services of Arjun considering his skills as a bowling all-rounder. MI are currently at the bottom of the IPL Points Table with two wins from 10 games.
Royal Challengers Bangalore batter Virat Kohli registered his third golden duck in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season and his sixth overall in the tournament as he was dismissed on the first ball of the ongoing match against SunRisers Hyderabad on Sunday at Wankhede Stadium. He was sent back to the pavilion by Jagadeesha Suchith. The ball was drifting onto the pads and Kohli flicked it straight to short mid-wicket fielder Kane Williamson.
Kolkata Knight Riders resemble a sinking ship ahead of a rather inconsequential IPL-15 match against bottom-placed Mumbai Indians who, even if already out of reckoning, will have their tails up on Monday. Panned for trying out too many combinations at the top, a part of their constant chopping and changing strategy this season which backfired on them pretty badly, KKR are coming off a 75-run drubbing at the hands of table toppers Lucknow Super Giants.
Gujarat Titans suffered their third defeat of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 season on Friday as the side failed to get over the line against Mumbai Indians. In the final over, Gujarat were unable to chase nine runs and as a result, Rohit Sharma and company emerged victorious. Gujarat Titans maybe at the top of the points table currently, but the side has lost back-to-back games. Former England captain Kevin Pietersen highlighted how skipper Hardik Pandya got it wrong at the toss during the game against Punjab Kings as well.
