Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Shine as MI Thrash SRH by 7 Wickets
It was a forgettable day for Sunrisers Hyderabad as they suffered a heavy 7-wicket defeat at the hands of Mumbai Indians in a completely one-sided contest. From a poor start with the bat to an ineffective bowling performance, SRH never really got going. On the other hand, MI delivered a complete team performance led by a solid bowling attack and explosive batting display from Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav.
SRH Innings – A Nightmare Start
Sunrisers Hyderabad were in deep trouble early on after being asked to bat first. Travis Head was dismissed for a duck in the very first over. The top order collapsed under pressure, losing four wickets inside the powerplay with just 13 runs on the board. Ishan Kishan, Abhishek Sharma, and Nitish Reddy all failed to make an impact
Klaasen’s Fightback, Manohar Adds Late Spark
Henrich Klaasen tried to steady the innings with a fighting knock of 71 runs off 44 balls, hitting 9 fours and 2 sixes. He found some support later from Abhinav Manohar, who played a handy cameo of 37 off 23 balls. Their contributions helped SRH post a somewhat respectable total of 153.
MI Bowling – Bolt Strikes Early
Trent Boult led Mumbai’s bowling charge with an impressive spell of 4/26 in 4 overs. Deepak Chahar chipped in with 2 wickets, while Bumrah and Hardik Pandya grabbed a wicket each, ensuring SRH never really recovered.
MI Innings – Clinical Chase with Power-Packed Batting
Chasing 154, Mumbai got off to a blazing start with openers Ryan Rickelton (27) and Will Jacks (22) setting the tone. But it was Rohit Sharma who stole the show with a magnificent 70 off 46 balls, including 7 boundaries and 3 sixes. Suryakumar Yadav provided the finishing touch with a quickfire unbeaten 40 off just 19 balls, sealing the win in only 15.4 overs.
SRH Bowling – No Answers to MI Batters
SRH bowlers struggled throughout the innings. Pat Cummins, Jaydev Unadkat, and youngster Zeeshan Ansari failed to contain the flow of runs. None of the bowlers could build pressure or pick crucial wickets when needed.
With this dominant win, Mumbai Indians not only earned two vital points but also boosted their net run rate, climbing into the top 4 on the points table. Rohit Sharma’s captain’s knock and Surya’s aggressive finish were the key highlights of the match.
