IPL 2018: Top 5 performances by Indians in the tournament so far

#3 Rohit Sharma (Match No 14, MI vs RCB)

Rohit Sharma led his team from the front with an inspiring knock

With three back-to-back losses, Mumbai Indians had their backs to the wall. The men in blue were under high pressure to set their campaign rollicking when they locked horns with Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore at Wankhede.

Being put into bat first, the home side got off to the worst start possible by losing wickets off the first two balls of the innings. Rohit Sharma walked out to the middle to face the music as a fired up Umesh Yadav looked on course to deliver yet another brilliant spell. However, what followed eventually left the RCB fans in dismay. Rohit Sharma joined Evin Lewis to add 108 runs for the third wicket before the latter departed.

However, there was no stopping Rohit Sharma at the other end as he continued to maul the Bangalore bowling attack. The Swashbuckler, much to the delight of the crowd, took the bowlers to the cleaners as he went on to blast 94 runs off 52 balls, consisting 10 fours and 5 maximums.

Thanks to the skipper's superlative effort with the bat, Mumbai Indians defeated RCB to get their first points in the tournament.
