RCB vs MI: Watch - Harshal Patel Provides Breakthrough For RCB, Dismisses Rohit Sharma

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) bowler, Harshal Patel, once again proved to be the wicket-taker for his team as he managed to provide the breakthrough against Mumbai Indians (MI) by dismissing skipper, Rohit Sharma.

After being put in to bat first, Mumbai started off well. The openers, Ishan Kishan and Rohit scored at a decent pace and brought the 50-run partnership in the 7th over of the innings.

Rohit was looking fluent and had taken Mohammed Siraj to the cleaners. However, Faf du Plessis’ bowling change worked instantly as Harshal came into the attack and bamboozled Rohit with a slower delivery.

The 34-year-old was into the shot too early and ended up chipping the ball back to the bowler for the simplest of return catches. The breakthrough brought RCB right back into the game as Rohit was looking threatening.

Meanwhile, MI opted to drop Tymal Mills for Jaydev Unadkat. They are playing with only 2 foreign players, only the third such case in the history of the IPL. As for RCB, Glenn Maxwell was back in the side in place of Sherfane Rutherford.

Mumbai Indians (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Ishan Kishan(w), Dewald Brevis, Suryakumar Yadav, Tilak Varma, Kieron Pollard, Ramandeep Singh, Murugan Ashwin, Jaydev Unadkat, Jasprit Bumrah, Basil Thampi

Royal Challengers Bangalore (Playing XI): Faf du Plessis(c), Anuj Rawat, Virat Kohli, Glenn Maxwell, Shahbaz Ahmed, Dinesh Karthik(w), David Willey, Wanindu Hasaranga, Harshal Patel, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj.
