Hits
Rohit Sharma (MI)
Mumbai skipper looked good while batting at M Chinnaswamy Stadium against RCB. He only has one half-century at this venue in the IPL and he was looking all set to score his second one. But he perished after scoring 48 runs in 33 balls, where he hit eight fours and one six. He got out to Umesh Yadav in an attempt to hit one ball out of the ground.
Jasprit Bumrah (MI)
The best bowler of limited-overs cricket was the difference between the two teams. He came back into the attack on 14th over and immediately dismissed the dangerous looking Virat Kohli with a perfect bouncer. He conceded only five runs in his last two overs to make the matters even worse for RCB. Bumrah finished the match with figures of 3/20 in his four overs.

AB de Villiers (RCB)
De Villiers kept RCB in hunt of Mumbai’s big score with a blazing half-century. He scored unbeaten 70 runs off just 41 balls, where he hit four fours and six sixes during this innings. De Villiers was dropped off the first ball of his innings but when he set his eyes, he tore Mumbai’s bowling lineup apart and scored a flamboyant fifty.
Yuzvendra Chahal (RCB)
Chahal bowled his heart out during the match against Mumbai and gave his skipper wickets whenever he was introduced on the attack. First, he broke the dangerous looking opening partnership and then came back to remove an in-form Yuvraj Singh. His two wickets of Suryakumar Yadav and Kieron Pollard in the same over was vital to stop Mumbai for a below 200 total.
