IPL 2018, MI vs RCB: 5 talking points from the match

#1 Rohit Sharma roars back

The MI skipper was undoubtedly the star of the game

During last year’s IPL, Rohit Sharma had a horrendous start to his tournament before coming back with a couple of brilliant knocks. In this IPL, the Mumbai Indians’ skipper accumulated just 44 runs in his first three matches at a paltry average of 14.67.

However, Rohit came back in remarkable fashion today as he scored a magnificent 94 from just 52 deliveries. His innings resurrected Mumbai Indians’ batting after they were 0/2 at a point. He batted brilliantly tonight, smashing ten fours and five sixes and leaving the RCB bowlers clueless. The skipper’s knock powered MI to 213 which is their third highest IPL total.

The 30-year old was rightfully adjudged the Man of the Match for his knock and will be looking to score similar knocks in the matches to come. Watch out other franchises, the sleeping giant has woken up from his little power nap.
