The moment Rohit Sharma launched Lasith Malinga in the third over beyond the mid-wicket ropes, you knew that the Mumbaikar was back with a bang. He went on to nonchalantly pull Vishwa Fernando for a four before lifting his Mumbai Indians teammate, Malinga over mid-off for another boundary.

When Chameera bowled four dots on the trot to Sharma in the ninth over, you knew something was coming up. The fifth was scooped over fine-leg for six and the last ball was cut over third man for another maximum. He soon completed his second fifty in Sri Lanka in 23 attempts before falling to the tricky Dananjaya for 54.
