On Wednesday, April 23, Mumbai Indians registered a handsome seven-wicket win over Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. SRH, batting first, lost early wickets but Heinrich Klaasen slammed a fifty that helped the Men in Orange put 146 runs on the board. 

In reply, Mumbai Indians chased down the target in just 15.4 overs. Notably, they lost Ryan Rickelton early on, but Rohit Sharma again rose to the occasion and slammed his second straight fifty of the season. The hitman, who came in as an impact sub, smashed 70 (46), which featured eight fours and three sixes.

Why RCB Fans Are Happy After Rohit's Consecutive Fifty?
