After losing a couple of games at the beginning, the toss didn’t favor the Mumbai Indians as Sanju Samson won it and chose to field first.
The decision pleased the Royals as Trent Boult appeared in top form, dismissing Rohit Sharma on the very first ball he faced in the opening over.
Ishan Kishan faced three dot balls initially before managing to rotate the strike on the fourth delivery. When Rohit prepared to face his first ball of the match, Boult delivered a good length ball outside the off stump, which moved away from the right-hander, enticing him to drive.
Rohit attempted the shot but only managed to edge it to the keeper’s right, where skipper Sanju held onto the ball firmly.
