Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma once again flattered to deceive in the ongoing game against Sunrisers Hyderabad. Since his 70-odd against the Delhi Capitals, he hasn't been able to carry his batting form. In the previous game against Kolkata Knight Riders, Sharma could only score 20 off 13 balls. In the ongoing game too, he got a start but failed to convert it into a big total.
After playing 18 balls, the right-hander scored 28 before getting out to T Natarajan. The former started going with three back-to-back fours against his India teammate, Washington Sundar. Rohit also scored two more fours against Natarajan before getting out. In total, he hit six fours with the first one coming against Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Meanwhile, the fans aren't happy with Sharma's performance with the bat.

Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians have recovered well
After losing the toss, the visitors, MI were asked to bat first. They had an explosive start as they scored 41 runs in 4.4 overs before losing the wicket of Sharma. On the other hand, Ishan Kishan once again started to struggle after his initial bursts as he could manage 38 off 31 balls including three fours and two sixes.
Suryakumar Yadav started well with a six but was caught at mid-off by Aiden Markram off Marco Jansen. At the time of writing, Cameron Green and Tilak Varma are batting at the crease. Earlier, the former was struggling to middle the ball. Currently, he is batting on 38 off 29 balls and counting. On the other hand, Varma has been dominated right from the onset and amassed 31 off 15 balls and counting.
At the time of writing, the five-time winners amassed 144/3 in 16 overs before the umpires called for a mandatory strategic timeout for the batting side.
