Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Mumbai Indians by 2 wickets in the season opener of 2021 IPL.
MI scored 159/9 in 20 overs. They had a great start but couldn't capitalize on it and struggled in the death overs. Losing captain Rohit Sharma said "Not the first game. I thought it was a great effort. A great fight till the end. I thought we were 20 runs short with the kind of start we got. We made some mistakes in the first game, bound to happen."
