But this is not the case, in fact Rohit Sharma has landed in almost every match for batting only. When the team bats first, Rohit is part of the playing 11 and in the second innings he replaces an impact player. If the team bats another, then he bats as an impact player.
Although leaving this catch did not have a huge impact, Delhi Capital batsmen could not stand in front of Mumbai bowlers. Top orders like KL Rahul (11), Faf du Plessis (6), Abhishek Porel (6) returned to the pavilion cheaply. After this, there was no good partnership in the middle order. Vipraj’s Rohit left the catch, he was dismissed by Mitchell Santner by scoring 20 runs. Santner and Jaspreet Bumrah took 3-3 wickets.
Mumbai Indians have confirmed their place in the IPL playoffs by winning this match by 59 runs. Prior to Mumbai, Gujarat Titans, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Punjab have confirmed their place in Kings Playoffs.
