After beating Gujarat Titans by 27 runs in an Indian Premier League T20 match on Friday, Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma said that the defense at this ground was excellent. Batting first, Mumbai restricted Gujarat’s innings to 191 for eight after scoring 218 for five. After this victory, the Mumbai team reached the third position in the table with 14 points from seven wins in 12 matches. The Gujarat team is at the top with 16 points in as many matches.
Rohit said at the award ceremony after the match, “It turned out to be a very exciting match. We needed these two points very much. “Rohit said,” It was pleasant to give the target with the bat first and then defend it like this. Conditions were difficult for the bowlers due to the high dew on the ground, so it was an amazing effort from their side. Suryakumar Yadav scored an unbeaten 103 off 49 balls for Mumbai.
He was the man of the match. He termed his innings as one of the best innings in T20. Suryakumar said, “It was one of my best innings in T20. I always believe that if your team wins, then the innings is more effective and today it happened. ”For Gujarat, Rashid Khan played an unbeaten inning of 79 runs in 32 balls after taking four wickets. He hit 10 sixes in his innings.
Gujarat captain Hardik Pandya said, “It seemed like only Rashid was playing properly from our side. He was very good in batting and bowling. “Hardik said,” We could not perform well in any field of the game. We lacked clear plans and the bowlers didn’t live up to the plan. We gave away 25 runs more. But because of Rashid, we did not let our net run rate suffer a big loss.
