In the Punjab Kings vs Mumbai Indians (PBKS vs MI) IPL 2024 match at Mullanpur on Thursday (18 April) night, Mumbai Indians claimed a crucial nine-run victory. During that match, Rohit Sharma set up a new IPL record for MI: most IPL sixes for Mumbai Indians. 


After Punjab Kings stand-in captain Sam Curran chose to field first, Mumbai Indians scored 192/7 in 20 overs. While Suryakumar Yadav scored 78 off 53 balls (seven fours and three sixes), Rohit Sharma and Tilak Varma contributed with 36 (25 balls; two fours and three sixes) and 34 not out (18 balls; two fours and two sixes), respectively.

In reply, Punjab Kings had a poor start as they were struggling on 14/4, thanks to the MI new-ball partners Gerald Coetzee and Jasprit Bumrah. Although Shashank Singh (41 off 25 balls; two fours and three sixes) and Ashutosh Sharma (61 off 28 balls; two fours and seven sixes) fought hard, they didn’t get enough support as PBKS closely suffered a defeat in the game. PBKS were all out for 183 runs in 19.1 overs. 


Both Coetzee (3/32) and Bumrah (3/21) took three wickets each in the match.
