IPL 2025: Rickleton, Rohit Fifties, Suryakumar And Hardik Cameos Power MI To 217/2
Despite Kumar Kartikeya Singh: Ryan Rickleton and Rohit Sharma smashed attacking fifties, while Suryakumar Yadav and captain Hardik Pandya provided finishing touches with unbeaten cameos of 48 to power Mumbai Indians (MI) to a massive 217/2 in their 20 overs against Rajasthan Royals (RR) in Match 50 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 at the Sawai Mansingh Stadium here on Thursday.
Rickleton and Rohit, who hit 61 and 53 respectively, shared a stellar 116-run opening stand. Though they departed in successive overs, Suryakumar and Pandya added 94 runs in just 44 deliveries in their unbroken third-wicket stand to end up at exactly 48 not out off 23 balls each, as MI got 71 runs in the last five overs.
With a longer boundary and lateral swing around due to strong winds, RR were able to keep things tight in the first three overs. MI had a scare when Rohit was adjudged lbw by an inswing and slower delivery from Fazalhaq Farooqi and decided to take the review before the timer clocked 15 seconds. Fortunately, Rohit survived as replays showed the ball pitched outside the leg stump.
