Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians registered their first win of the ongoing 2023 edition of the Indian Premier League as they defeated Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. Riding on the brilliant opening stand between skipper Sharma and Ishan Kishan, Mumbai registered their first win of the season.
Before the match started, Rohit won the toss for the first time in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League. Both sides were desperate for their first win in the ongoing season after a horrific start to the tournament.
Rohit Sharma And Ishan Kishan Stitched Crucial Partnership
Meanwhile, Sharma will be happy with his decision as it turned out to be in his favor. He will be happy with his performance too in their 3rd outing as they managed to bag their first win of the season. Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan stitched together a 71 runs partnership in a 6-wicket win over Delhi Capitals.
On the other hand, DC has now lost four consecutive games in the tournament this season. Their chances of making it into the knockouts will kickstart to get low with every single defeat they suffer from this point in the ongoing tournament.
Chasing a total of 173 runs on the scoreboard, MI finally had a great start to their innings this season as captain Rohit and Ishan Kishan stepped up their game putting up an instrumental 71 runs partnership for the opening wicket.
Both the batters looked good however a bad mix-up between the both resulted in Ishan’s dismissal at the hands of Mukesh Kumar.
After his dismissal, Tilak Varma and Rohit kept the runs flowing as the MI skipper registered his first half-century of the ongoing season. DC tried to do their best and get in a breakthrough however MI openers had already done a lot of damage already.
Towards the finishing moments, DC managed to find a small comeback in the game taking the wicket of Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav, and Rohit Sharma in quick succession. However, Tim David and Cameron Green played crucial cameos in the end and guided the team past the finish line on the very final delivery.
