DC vs MI: Rohit Sharma Breaks Virat Kohli's Record To Achieve Incredible Milestone

Rohit Sharma, on Tuesday (April 11), added another feather to his cap as he roared back to form for Mumbai Indians in their ongoing IPL 2023 clash against Delhi Capitals at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

Bowling first, Mumbai Indians had Delhi Capitals in all sorts of trouble. The five-time IPL champions had reduced Delhi Capitals to 98 for 5 in the 13th over. However, a whirlwind fifty from Axar Patel helped Delhi recover from the precarious position to score 172.

Chasing 173, Mumbai Indians needed a good start with the bat and Rohit Sharma did exactly that. He and Ishan Kishan helped the team score 68 for no loss after the powerplay. The duo eventually shared a 71-run stand for the first wicket before Kishan was run out for 31.
