Mumbai Indians (MI) will be locking horns with Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the 65th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2022 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. In the first innings, an incident took place when neither Jasprit Bumrah nor Sanjay Yadav called for a catch and eventually dropped the catch.
MI skipper, Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bowl first. Both teams made a couple of changes as Priyam Garg comes in for Shashank Singh and Fazal Farooqi comes in for Marco Jansen for SRH. On the other hand, for MI, Mayank Markande and Sanjay Yadav came in to replace Hrithik Shokeen and Kumar Kartikeya.

SRH got off to an excellent start against MI as they were cruising at 57/1 at the end of Powerplay after Rohit Sharma won the toss and asked them to bat. Rahul Tripathi was batting on 24 off 13 balls, alongside Priyam Garg, who was on 20 off 13 balls.
Had a strange incident not happened at Wankhede Stadium, MI could have managed to get the second wicket in the sixth over. It was Daniel Sams’ third over, and he almost got better off Garg with a sharp bouncer. Garg tried to pull, but ended up top-edging the ball. The ball went straight to fine leg between Jasprit Bumrah and Sanjay Yadav. It was closer to Sanjay, who tried to grab the catch. However, Bumrah came into his eyeline, and because of that, the ball slip through his palms.
Here’s how the strange incident happened at Wankhede:
Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Ishan Kishan (wk), Rohit Sharma (c), Daniel Sams, Tilak Varma, Ramandeep Singh , Tristan Stubbs, Tim David, Sanjay Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Riley Meredith, Mayank Markande
