Sky misses a sweep shot from outside off, Suyash and Jitesh are confident that there’s an edge. There’s a noise for sure and the two are able to convince their captain for a review.

FOUR! This one is dragged short, Rickelton gets the width and the time to pick this between mid off and covers.
Rickelton is struck on the pads, RCB goes up for a review. To the naked eye, this looked like pitching outside the leg-stump line. Rickelton is looking to pick this over the on side across the angle but misses. The ball tracker shows this was pitching on the leg-stump line, and the three reds mean the Protea batter has to walk back.
Ryan Rickelton lbw b Hazlewood 17(10)
Suryakumar Yadav walks out to bat now. The chase rests on his shoulders now. Plays the first deliverym outside off, on his front foot, a confident shot but no run off it. The last delivery is run down to mid on, no run.
Bhuvneshwar to continue. Rickelton gets an inside edge onto his pad, shapes in to the leftie and is too good for Rickelton to drive.
FOUR! Wide to Rickelton, cover drives through the infield. FOUR again! Width on offer, and Rickelton again unleashes the cover drive.

Rohit Sharma b Dayal 17(9)
Will Jacks follows in at No. 3. BEATEN! Another one tailing away from the right-hander, Jacks chases with a drive but misses. FOUR! On the pads, a real gift for Jacks who puts this on its way to the fine leg boundary.
Rohit Sharma back at the top for MI. Boy would MI love a big knock from him. Ryan Rickelton partnering him. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to bowl the first over.
EDGES and almost carries! Rohit with a nervy start, defends outside off but the movement takes the shoulder of the blade, falls short of first slip. A full toss to follow, clips it to deep square, gets two runs.
SIX! Back-of-a-length from Bhuvneshwar, sets up nicely for Rohit, who pulls it over square leg. Rohit cuts the fifth, gets to deep backward point, one run.
Rickelton for his first delivery. FOUR! Just pushes this length ball through mid on, the fielder dives but the ball beats him.
Virat Kohli reckons this wicket is not as straightforward to bat on as it looked during the first innings. It was attack from ball one from RCB. It was set up by Kohli’s half-century, his second of the season, and consolidated upon by Rajat Patidar and Jitesh Sharma, both striking at a rate of 200 or more.
This will be the highest run chase at Wankhede if MI is to get there. It would be most welcome for a team that is desparate to turn around its fortunes.

Virat Kohli to face his first delivery. Deepak Chahar to bowl.
The first delivery is full, driven to covers, no run. Appeals for lbw! The second jags back into Kohli, hits the front pad. MI thinks for a review but opts against it. Hitting too high on the pad.
Kohli tucks the third through midwicket, just closes the bat face from the middle-stump line, gets two. FOUR! Slightly dragged back, Kohli pulls it away through square leg. A couple to fine leg on the penultimate delivery. Kohli charges down to the last ball, hits it through covers but the fielder stops it to keep this to just one run.

Phil Salt b Boult 4(2)
FOUR! Devdutt Padikkal gets the first delivery wide of off, leans into the drive and picks the gap at covers. BEATEN! Movement away from the left-hander, goes past the edge.
RCB’s opening batters are the side’s highest scorers this season. If the visitor is to set a commanding total here, the duo will need to play a stead hand at the top.
The left-arm pacer Ashwani Kumar has had to make room for Jasprit Bumrah in MI’s starting XI. He had impressed with a four-fer on his debut against KKR, then following up with another couple of wickets against LSG. But such is IPL that there are limited chances for players, despite strong performances.

“Batting first won’t make too much of a difference, will be good for the batters. I’m pretty confident about the bowling unit. We’ve played cricket all over India, we know what kind of cricket to play at each venue. No changes to the team,” says Rajat Patidar.

Mumbai Indians’ (MI) head coach Mahela Jayawardene confirmed that Jasprit Bumrah is available while Rohit Sharma is likely to play in Monday’s Indian Premier League faceoff against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
“He (Bumrah) is available. He is training today, so he should be available tomorrow,” Jayawardene said at the Wankhede Stadium.
“He arrived last night and I believe he had his sessions with NCA to finalise that. He has been handed over to our physios. He is bowling today, all (is) good and will play tomorrow (Monday).”

For nearly a decade, he has been the go-to saviour, whether for India or Mumbai Indians. No surprise then that with Jasprit Bumrah sidelined for the first fortnight of IPL 2025, MI has struggled to find its rhythm.
His return to the squad on Saturday provided an immediate morale boost. Even at partial intensity, his brief spell at Rohit Sharma in the nets lifted spirits in the MI camp. Rohit, who missed the last game after taking a blow to his knee, is set to return for Monday’s marquee clash against Royal Challengers Bengaluru.
