The Hitman went on to notch up an important half-century for his team, which stabilized their innings after the early hiccups.
Rohit scored 63 runs off 52 balls, where he hit five fours and two sixes. He got a good ally in Suryakumar Yadav as they shared a crucial 79 runs for the third wicket. However, Sharma couldn’t give his team the final flourish to propel them to a match-winning score. He got out in the 18th over to Mohammed Shami.

Earlier, Quinton de Kock and Ishan Kishan found the going tough and threw their wickets cheaply. Punjab Kings were bowling well in the powerplay and restricted MI to just 21 runs in the first six overs – the lowest of this season. However, the defending champions somehow reached 131/6 in 20 overs to post a competitive total on the board.
