Rohit Sharma smashes new records

Rohit smashed many records during the IPL match no.2, as he became the first Asian batter to smash 550 sixes in T20s. He brought up his 23-ball 50, which was his quickest in the IPL. The opener now has the most runs against KKR with 1095 runs against the Knights. He surpassed the score of David Warner.

Rohit Sharma looked in deft touch from the start of the innings and gave no chance to the KKR bowlers. The former MI captain has retired from the T20I format; however, his batting did not suggest that he is retired from the shorter format of the game.

Rohit and Rickelton creates havoc

Rohit and Rickelton stitched a partnership of 148, and it was the second-highest opening partnership for the five-time winners. The latter also scored 80 and was unfortunately run out by Ankul Roy.

Mumbai Indians won the toss and elected to field first, and KKR were off to a flying start with Finn Allen and Ajinkya Rahane scoring 78 in the power play. The latter scored 67 and gave KKR a good position to score runs. Allen scored 37 off 17 balls, and Cam Green scored 18 off 10 balls.

KKR fell short of 20 runs

Angkrish Raghuvanshi showed his class and scored 51, and Rinku Singh gave the finishing touch for the Knights, scoring 33 off 21 balls. KKR would have felt they were short of 15-20 runs because at one stage, 240 was the projected score on a very good batting surface.

During the game, Ajinkya Rahane also limped off as Rinku Singh, the team's vice-captain, took over the captaincy. However, Rinku did not have much to do as Rohit and Rickelton were smashing the KKR bowlers, and the skipper was helpless.
