Mumbai Indians batsman Tim David and batting coach Kieron Pollard were fined Saturday for asking a teammate to seek a TV review in contravention of rules during an Indian Premier League match.
Mumbai Indians returned to winning ways with a 9-run victory against Punjab Kings, all thanks to Jasprit Bumrah's heroics with the ball. The nervy contest almost saw PBKS secure an unlikely win, following Ashutosh Sharma and Shashank Singh's heroics. After the match ended in MI's favour, a video has emerged on social media in which Hardik Pandya's franchise has been accused of doing "DRS Cheating". In the video, Mumbai's Tim could be seen signalling for DRS to be taken, before realising that he is on camera. (IPL 2024 Points Table)
Former Mumbai Indians (MI) skipper Rohit Sharma leap-frogged Kieron Pollard's long-standing record for most sixes for the Mumbai-based franchise in the Indian Premier League (IPL). Rohit achieved the remarkable feat during Mumbai Indians' clash against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the 33rd match of the IPL 2024 at Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium on Thursday. The 36-year-old faced 25 balls against PBKS and scored 36 runs at a strike rate of 144. He slammed 2 fours and 3 overhead boundaries during his time on the crease. Currently, Rohit has smashed 224 sixes for MI in the T20 tournament. Pollard holds the second place on the list with 223 sixes.
The ongoing IPL 2024 was hit by toss tampering claims as several fans alleged that the result of the coin toss was changed by match referee Javagal Srinath during the match between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The claims were debunked by social media users who provided video proof against the claims. While fans have provided evidence both for and against the claim on social media, the subject once again came to the forefront during MI's match against Punjab Kings on Thursday. Following the coin toss, PBKS stand-in skipper Sam Curran walked forward and checked the result himself before the coin was picked up by the match referee.
Mumbai Indians (MI) opener Rohit Sharma revealed that he was a little scared when a fan entered the ground and stood next to him during the 17th edition clash against Rajasthan Royals (RR) at Wankhade Stadium. The India skipper asserted that he was actually setting up the field while standing at the slips when this incident happened on April 1. "He (the fan) just said I am a big fan and I want a hug. I said yeah hug but please don't do that otherwise you'll be in big trouble. I was actually trying to set up the field, standing at slip. Suddenly, Tim David, who was standing right across at mid-off, was pointing to someone coming behind me. I was not able to understand what he was trying to say. But this guy suddenly stood up next to me and I was a little scared honestly," said Rohit in the Club Prairie Fire podcast.
Mumbai Indians have played five matches in the series and are ranked seventh on the points table, while Chennai Super Kings have also played five matches in the series and are ranked third on the points table. Both teams last played against each other in the Match 49 of the Indian Premier League, 2023, where Nehal Wadhera scored the highest fantasy points for Mumbai Indians with 86 match fantasy points while Matheesha Pathirana topped the fantasy points leaderboard for Chennai Super Kings with 97 match fantasy points.
After three defeats on the bounce, Mumbai Indians (MI)'s IPL 2024 season finally got back on track last time out after win over the Delhi Capitals. MI have gone through a leadership change in the ongoing season with Hardik Pandya leading the side, replacing long-serving icon Rohit Sharma. However, with the results not going in their favour after three games, MI's campaign got the much needed boost, a 29-run win over the struggling Delhi Capitals last week.
Jasprit Bumrah produced a brilliant delivery to dismiss Virat Kohli during the IPL 2024 match between Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bengaluru on Thursday. The battle between the two Indian cricket team superstars was something that all fans were waiting for but it was the fast bowler who had the last laugh. Kohli had a somewhat shaky start to his innings and he had no answer to a sharp in-swinger from the fast bowler. The ball pitched just short of good length and shaped back rapidly to leave Kohli struggling. The star batter ended up getting a prominent inside edge on the ball and Ishan Kishan completed a diving catch behind the stumps to end his stay at the crease for just 3.
