In a stunning display of batting pyrotechnics, Rohit Sharma continued his red-hot streak with the bat as he guided Mumbai Indians to an emphatic seven-wicket victory over the struggling Sunrisers Hyderabad on Wednesday in Hyderabad. Rohit’s well-crafted 70 stood out, as he played a pivotal role in helping MI chase down a target of 144 in just 15.4 overs.

The match clearly was a one-sided affair, with Mumbai Indians firmly in control from start to finish. Rohit Sharma, in particular, was in top form, producing a stylish knock and laying the foundation for a comfortable victory. Rohit not only anchored the chase but also provided the platform to finish things off in quick time. He, however, lost his wicket after scoring 70, but Suryakumar Yadav hitting a 19-ball 40 guided the side to victory. 

Earlier, MI’s bowlers put in a disciplined and dominant performance, restricting SRH to a total of 143/8 in 20 overs. Left-arm fast bowler Trent Boult was the standout performer with the ball, claiming a brilliant four-wicket haul. His fiery spell toppled SRH’s batting lineup, leaving them unable to recover.

However, for SRH, Heinrich Klaasen showed courage, producing a masterful knock of 71. Klaasen's innings was a bright spot for SRH, as he single-handedly tried to guide his team towards a more competitive total. Klassen was supported by Abhinav Manohar, who played a cameo of 43 off 37 balls. Unfortunately for the SRH, no other batsman could contribute enough to support them.
