Mumbai: Despite going into the first home match of the season, there is no escape for Mumbai Indians. At the Mumbai Wamkhande Stadium, Sanju Samson and his team thrashed the famous Mumbai Pada by six wickets.
This is Mumbai’s hat-trick defeat. This time, under the new captain Hardik Pandya, Mumbai is at the bottom of the points table without a single win. Rajasthan Royals climbed to the top spot with their third win in a row. After losing the toss and batting, Mumbai suffered a setback in the powerplay itself. Pacer Trent Boult dismissed three top batsmen including hitman Rohit Sharma.
Mumbai’s three players returned for zero. Rohit got out on the fifth ball of the first over. On the very first ball he faced, Sanju caught Rohit behind the wicket with one hand. With this, Rohit joined veteran player Dinesh Karthik in the record of being the player who has been dismissed for the most number of times in the IPL. Both of them were out for zero on 17 occasions.
Boult dealt a heavy blow to the former champions by trapping Naman Dhir LBW in the very next ball and sending Devald Brevis back in the next over. Bolt was also selected as the star of the game. Glenn Maxwell, Piyush Chawla and Sunil Narine have been dismissed 15 times.
