The Wankhede Stadium is Mumbai Indians’ fortress and they hardly let their oppositions dominate against them on a batting paradise. Nonetheless, in the opening game of IPL 2015 against Kolkata Knight Riders, they found themselves in a spot of bother after losing three wickets inside the power-play.

Skipper Rohit Sharma went on a rampage to plunder 98 runs in 65 balls that were crafted with 12 boundaries and four monstrous sixes. Along with Corey Anderson, Rohit stitched together a stand of 131 from 88 balls.

The Knights were jolted early with the loss of Robin Uthappa, but a couple of healthy partnerships ensured that KKR chased down 170 runs and romp home by seven wickets to open their account in the win column.
