IPL 2024: Sandeep Sharma’s Five-fer Restricts Mumbai Indians To 179/9
Indian Premier League: Sandeep Sharma's brilliant haul of 5-18 halted Mumbai Indians (MI) to 179/9, despite Tilak Varma's half-century, against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 38 of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 at Sawai Mansingh Stadium here on Monday.
Opting to bat first on a spin-friendly pitch, Rajasthan bowler Trent Boult struck early in the first over after getting stuck for a boundary by Rohit Sharma through a leading edge. Boult dismissed Rohit on the score of six with a full-length delivery shaping in as the former Mumbai Indians skipper top-edged it straight in the air for a good diving catch to Sanju Samson. It was the 26th time that Boult struck in the first over of the Power-play.
It was a poor start for Mumbai, as both openers departed in the space of nine balls. Sandeep Sharma aimed full, and Ishan Kishan, looking to utilise the swing on offer, handed the ball straight through to keeper Samson.
