Mumbai Indians innings analysis at the end of innings Put in to bat first after losing the toss, Mumbai Indian’s captain Rohit Sharma looked a bit dodgy in the first over of the match as Sandeep Sharma started his first over with pitch-perfect delivery. Rohit got a leading edge of the third ball of the first over but Deepak Hooda dropped the skier. Rohit only able to score 1 run in the first over of the game. In the second over Rohit Sharma deposited Stanlake’s second ball into the stand and 4th ball for four before getting out of the last ball of the over.

But Ishan Kishan failed to convert the lifeline into a big inning and got perished. The ball took the top edge and Yusuf Pathan took a good catch at third man boundary.
