IPL 2024: Rohit Sharma Receives Special Medal For His Knock Against LSG

Mumbai Indian (MI) opener Rohit Sharma received a special medal after playing an explosive knock of 68 runs in a match against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the iconic Wankhede Stadium. MI fans had mixed emotions on a bittersweet evening at the Wankhede Stadium. While they were thrilled with Rohit's explosive knock of 68 runs, they also witnessed their team suffer their 10th loss of the year and drop to the bottom of the points table. Rohit was presented the special medal by team Mumbai Indians owner Nita Ambani at the MI dressing room.

The former MI skipper broke a run of poor scores when he struck an incredible 68 off 38 deliveries in the Mumbai match against LSG.

Coming to the match, Rohit and Naman Dhir's fiery knocks went in vain as MI conceded an 18-run loss against LSG in the IPL 2024 match at the Wankhede Stadium.

Marcus Stoinis (28 runs from 22 balls, 5 fours) and Ayush Badoni (22* runs from 10 balls, 1 four and 2 sixes) were the other standout batters for LSG as they propelled the visitors to 214/6.
