Mumbai vs Delhi: Rohit Sharma dismissed after match-winning fifty

Mumbai openers Quinton de Kock and Rohit Sharma came out with positive intent as they started taking Delhi bowlers to the cleaners from the word go. The South African was the aggressor between the two as he scored a quickfire 20 off 12 balls to set lay the perfect foundation for the chase. However, he perished in the fifth over as he was caught behind by Rishabh Pant off Marcus Stoinis' bowling.

Rohit held one end and kept the scoreboard ticking by scoring singles and hitting an odd boundary every over. He ensured that Mumbai was always above the required run-rate. The Mumbai skipper formed a 45-run partnership with Suryakumar Yadav for the second wicket before the latter was dismissed courtesy of an unfortunate run out.
