Highlights of the MI vs. RR match...
1. 'Rohit-Rohit' was chanted at Wankhede Stadium.
The crowd chanted "Rohit-Rohit" as Mumbai Indians captain Hardik Pandya stepped onto the field to make the toss. Hardik has previously been jeered by the crowds in Hyderabad and Ahmedabad as well.
The fans jeered Pandya even before the toss, as he warmed up by circling the field. Pandya remained composed and had a smile on his face despite being jeered during the toss.
Moreover, Rohit's chants persisted even after Pandya began to speak following the toss. Commentator Sanjay Manjrekar was forced to request that viewers "please behave" or change the way they were acting. Hardik took over as Mumbai's new captain after Rohit captained the group to five championships. Fans are jeering Hardik because of this.
Boult sent all three of the Mumbai players who turned into golden ducks to the pavilion.
Three Mumbai players got "golden ducks," meaning they were out on the opening ball of their innings without scoring a run. In the opening over, Rohit Sharma and Naman Dheer went out. Trent Boult sent all three to the pavilion, but Dewald Brevis was caught in the third over.
In the field, Shimron Hetmyer went from being Superman to.
Rajasthan's Shimron Hetmyer made a fantastic catch while positioned at the point. Piyush Chawla was bowled a short-pitch ball by Avesh Khan in the twelfth over. After Chawla cut and the ball began to fly, Hetmyer leaped into the air and made a fantastic catch. After scoring three runs in six balls, Chawla was out. When he saw his catch, Captain Sanju Samson also had a joyful expression.
With two sixes and one four, Riyan Parag gave Rajasthan the victory.
With two straight sixes and then a four, Riyan Parag gave the Rajasthan Royals the victory. After the 15th over, Rajasthan needed to win from 30 balls with 15 runs. Mumbai is where Gerald Cootzie traveled to bowl.
At a pace of 141 km/h, Cootji bowled the opening ball, which saw Parag knock a six in the direction of extra covers. After Cootji bowled a bouncer the next ball, Parag struck a six in the direction of mid-wicket. Cootzie again delivered a bouncer on the third ball, but this time it went for a four after going behind the wicketkeeper. By hitting three successive boundaries, Parag effectively handed Rajasthan the victory.
Rohit took Bhajji and held him in his lap.
Even if Rohit Sharma isn't the Mumbai Indians' captain, his fan base still adores him. In addition, he gets along well with previous cricket players. When Harbhajan Singh, who was providing commentary at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday, came up to where Rohit was warming up, Rohit shook hands and embraced him.
.. A fan hugged Rohit Ishaan as they entered the stadium.
When a fan approached Rohit Sharma during the game while he was fielding, the security guy dragged him out. A fan leaped into the stadium and approached the pitch as Rohit was standing on the slip. He shook hands with both of them and hugged Rohit first, then Ishaan. Ishaan got 16 runs in the game, but Rohit was unable to even open his account.
