Rohit Sharma has had an underwhelming season so far. Before today’s game, he was also MI’s second highest run-getter but he has been in scratchy form. He’s had two 50+ scores and both have resulted in wins and that shows how much MI depend on their skipper.

Rohit Sharma walked out to bat at No. 3 after Mumbai had got a good start as Evin Lewis and Suryakumar Yadav shared an excellent 87-run stand. But the MI skipper was bounced out the first ball he faced. Jofra Archer went for the bouncer and Rohit pulled it and was not in control of it and hence, ended up getting caught at fine-leg.

It was Rohit’s third golden duck as his patchy season continued. He also didn't have a great time on the field as none of his changes worked and was also poor with the review he took against Ajinkya Rahane. Thus, it was a game to forget for Rohit Sharma.
