Match Summary

Rohit Sharma was at his vintage best, scoring 70 off 46 balls, ably supported by Suryakumar Yadav, who smashed an unbeaten 40 off just 19. But before the batters had their say, it was Boult who set the stage with a blistering 4-wicket haul that derailed SRH early in the game.

Another feather in his cap: Rohit smashed his 259th six for Mumbai Indians, surpassing Kieron Pollard’s long-standing record. With that strike, he officially became MI’s all-time leading six-hitter.
With this innings, Rohit also became the fifth-fastest cricketer to breach the 12,000-run mark in T20s. Only legends like Chris Gayle, Virat Kohli, David Warner, and Alex Hales have done it faster. A remarkable achievement for a remarkable player.

Trent Boult broke SRH’s back with a fiery spell, claiming four crucial wickets that pushed the opposition into survival mode within the powerplay. Despite the batting-friendly pitch, he expertly used swing and subtle variations to unsettle the batters, making himself nearly unplayable. His early breakthroughs, including key dismissals from SRH’s top order, shattered their momentum and confidence, turning the match decisively in Mumbai Indians’ favor.
