Mumbai's batting against Rajasthan was a flop
It is noteworthy that Mumbai Indians' batting against Rajasthan at Wankhede was a complete flop. Batting first, MI could only score 125/9 in their 20 overs. Rohit Sharma, Naman Dheer and David Brasevich became the victims of Rajasthan's bowling. The biggest innings for the team was played by captain Hardik Pandya, who scored 34 runs in 21 balls with the help of 6 fours. Then chasing the target, Rajasthan won by 4 wickets in 15.3 overs.
