Mayank Agarwal played a magnificent knock of 83 runs from 46 balls in the ongoing IPL 2023 match between Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) and Mumbai Indians (MI). The right-handed batter smacked eight fours and four sixes in his entertaining knock at the Wankhede Stadium.
MI are currently in a do-or-die situation. They are in a three-way race for the fourth spot in the IPL 2023 playoffs, with the other two teams being the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and the Rajasthan Royals (RR).
Sunrisers Hyderabad have already been eliminated from the tournament, but if they beat the Mumbai Indians today, even MI will be knocked out. Hence, when Mayank Agarwal destroyed the Mumbai Indians bowlers in the first innings, RCB and RR fans were delighted along with the SRH supporters.
Here are some of the best Twitter reactions to Agarwal's 83-run knock against the Mumbai Indians:
Mayank Agarwal stitched up a 140-run opening partnership with Vivrant Sharma
Agarwal opened the batting with Vivrant Sharma for the Sunrisers Hyderabad today in their final league-stage match against the Mumbai Indians. Both SRH batters performed brilliantly and added 140 runs for the first wicket.
While Agarwal scored 83 runs, Sharma chipped in with a 47-ball 69. Sharma hit nine fours and two sixes in his knock, helping the Orange Army touch the 140-run mark before the fall of the first wicket.
Mumbai Indians' uncapped pacer Akash Madhwal dismissed both Agarwal and Sharma in the second half of the innings, while Chris Jordan bagged the wicket of Glenn Phillips soon after. Heinrich Klaasen is currently batting in the middle with Aiden Markram.
Klaasen and Markram have taken SRH's score past 180. The Orange Army have reached 185/3 in 18.3 overs. It will be interesting to see if they can touch the 200-run mark.
