The Mumbai Indians opener, Rohit Sharma terrorised the Gujarat Titans bowlers in the Eliminator and thus, his wicket was the key in the Qualifier 2. Punjab Kings needed to dismiss Rohit to stand a chance in the contest and Marcus Stoinis provided the crucial breakthrough.

Stoinis turns on angry mode against Rohit

The Mumbai Indians team were put into bat by Shreyas Iyer and the decision paid off as the master-stroke to bring in Stoinis was the right move as the Aussie all-rounder did the trick. He bowled a back of a length balll on the middle and leg as Rohit miscued his attempted pull shot.

The ball took the aerial route and the fielder at deep backward square leg took a smart catch. After the dismissal, Stoinis was pumped up as he had an animated celebration and gave a fiery send-off to Rohit. This was a massive wicket for PBKS as MI's most dangerous batter got dismissed cheaply.

After witnessing the highs in the Eliminator, Rohit witnessed a low as the batter was sent packing for a single digit score of 8.

Tactical call by Shreyas Iyer to introduce Stoinis

This was a tactical call by Shreyas Iyer to introduce Stoinis in the power-play against Rohit Sharma. Normally he is used after the 6-overs mark, but against Rohit, Shreyas brought him early. Rohit loves to play the pull shot and Stoinis as a deceptive bouncer.

The MI batter was a touch early in his pull shot and the fielder was perfectly placed at deep backward square leg for that particular big hit.
