MUMBAI: Skipper Rohit Sharma ran out of reasons for Mumbai Indians' (MI) losing streak which extended to eight games, accepting that shoddy batting has hurt the team and led to the disaster that the 2022 season has been for the five-time champions. Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) beat MI by 36 runs with skipper KL Rahul scoring another hundred against his favourite side while Rohit's 39 was the top score for MI. "We haven't batted well enough in this tournament. Whoever plays in the middle needs to take that responsibility and go on to play long innings. Some of the opposition players have done that and that is what is hurting us. One guy needs to ensure that he bats as long as possible," Rohit said after the match.
KL Rahul once again proved to be Mumbai Indians' nemesis as his magnificent second hundred set up a comfortable 36-run win for Lucknow Super Giants' and in turn knocked the five-time champions out of this edition of IPL. Rahul continued his fairytale run against MI, slamming an unbeaten 103 off 62 balls with the help of 12 fours and four maximums as LSG posted 168 for 6 after being invited to bat at the Wankhede stadium.

With the loss against Chennai Super Kings in their last match, Mumbai Indians became the first team to lose their first seven matches of a season in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL). Captain Rohit Sharma and the management have tried various combinations, but have just not been able to go past the line, despite a few close matches. Former England captain Michael Vaughan suggested that Rohit, who is also the India skipper now, should take a breather if the franchise finds itself knocked out of contention for a spot for the knockout stages after a few more matches.
Miller on Saturday became the 27th player to hit a century of sixes in the history of the Indian Premier League.The left-handed batter accomplished this feat in the 35th match of the 15th edition of IPL against Kolkata Knight Riders.
Jos Buttler is having a dream run with the bat for Rajasthan Royals in the ongoing season as he has already smashed three centuries. His first ton came against Mumbai Indians and the second was against Kolkata Knight Riders. His latest ton came against Delhi Capitals on Friday and this performance helped the Royals move to the top spot in the points table. Buttler's performance has helped Rajasthan post big scores on the board consistently. Buttler is the current holder of the Orange Cup in the ongoing season with 491 runs from seven games and he would hope to continue with his performances. The England wicketkeeper-batter has named two players, one each from the past and current era, as his dream opening partners.
