Rohit Sharma showed exactly what Mumbai Indians missed in his injury absence with a stunning batting display at the Wankhede. Having missed 4 games due to a hamstring issue, the 38-year-old stroked a quick fire half-century to put Mumbai Indians on course for a victory against a strong LSG bowling line up.
Introduced as impact player, Rohit started off with a lucky boundary off Mohsin Khan before doling out punishment to LSG bowler. Mohammed Shami and Avesh Khani copped massive sixes as the Hit-Man put on a stunning opening partnership with Ryan Rickelton.
Rohit initially took his time, before going berserk as Mumbai Indians hunted down Lucknow's 228 in ease. He reached his half-century in just 27 balls, hitting as many as six sixes.
