Mumbai Indians took to the pitch with the formidable challenge of chasing down Sunrisers Hyderabad’s imposing total of 278 runs.
Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan, opening the batting, made a strong start, racing to 50/0 within the first three overs. However, the resilient Sunrisers’ bowlers soon removed both openers, halting Mumbai’s momentum.
Despite a promising partnership of 84 runs between Tilak Verma and Naman Dhir, Mumbai’s hopes hinged on a remarkable chase.
In the 11th over, Naman Dhir’s dismissal shifted the focus to Hardik Pandya, who entered amidst roaring cheers from the crowd.
His confident walk to the crease, accompanied by the pulsating stadium music, indicated his ability to handle pressure effortlessly.
