Rohit Sharma And Suryakumar Yadav Put On A Show Against CSK

In what turned out to be an absolutely one-sided affair, Mumbai Indians won the game against Chennai Super Kings as they chased down the score of 177 in just 15.4 overs on the back of an excellent second-wicket partnership between former skipper Rohit Sharma and India's T20I skipper Suryakumar Yadav.

Batting first, Chennai Super Kings posted 176 on the board for the loss of five wickets, where Ravindra Jadeja (53) and Shivam Dube (50) helped CSK reach a competitive total. However, Mumbai Indians started off excellently with Ryan Rickleton scoring 24, while CSK were unable to pick a second wicket after the fall of Rickleton.

Rohit Sharma played an outstanding knock of 76* off just 45 deliveries with four fours and six sixes, while Suryakumar Yadav turned on beast mode with a 30-ball 68*, which consisted of six boundaries and five sixes at an outstanding strike rate of 226.67.
