While captain Rohit Sharma led from the front with the bat, Jasprit Bumrah once more proved why he's one among the best fast bowlers in the world at the moment. Invited to bat first, Mumbai Indians got off to a poor start losing opener Quinton de Kock on a duck before Suryakumar Yadav was run-out on 10 off 7 balls. Rohit led the charge from one end and found support from Ishan Kishan (28) as they added 62 runs for the 2nd wicket.

Rohit went on to slam a superb knock of 70 runs off 45 balls laced with 8 fours and 3 sixes. in the process, he scripted history by becoming only the third batsman to get 5,000 runs in the history of IPL as he joined Suresh Raina and Virat Kohli in an elite list. Kohli tops the all-time run-getters list with 5430 runs in 180 matches, while Rohit now has 5068 runs in 192 games.


Rohit has been in sublime form this season and has already scored two half-centuries in the first four games for his side. While Rohit played a captain's knock, Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya hammered two sensational cameos towards the end to power Mumbai Indians to a powerful total of 191 runs on the board. While Pollard hammered 47 off 20 balls with the help of 4 sixes, Pandya slammed 3 boundaries and a couple of sixes in his quickfire 11-ball 30. The duo took the KXIP bowlers apart as they made a mockery of the opposition bowling attack.


In reply, Kings XI Punjab never looked settled in the run chase as they succumbed to another defeat. KXIP have now lost back-to-back games and have managed just one win in their first four games of the season. While Rahul struggled to get going in his 19-ball 17, his opening partner Mayank Agarwal scored 25 off 18 balls. The duo added 38 runs for the first wicket before the middle-order crumbled under pressure.

The likes of Karun Nair (0), Glenn Maxwell (11), James Neesham (7) and Sarfaraz Khan (7) all disappointed with the bat as KXIP were restricted on 143/7 despite playing 8 batsmen within the XI. Nicholas Pooran top-scored with a 27-ball 44 while Krishnappa Gowtham showed some fight towards the end with a 13-ball 22 but their efforts weren't enough to get KXIp over the line in a very pressure chase.


Jasprit Bumrah was yet again exceptional for Mumbai Indians as he returned with figures of 2/18 in his 4 overs, bowling at an impressive economy of 4.50. Rahul Chahar also impressed with 2 for 26 off his 4 overs. it had been a complete bowling effort from Mumbai Indians with all five bowlers on the mark and getting a wicket each for their efforts.
