IPL 2016 Royal Challengers succumbs to Mumbai Indians

Mumbai Indians 171 for 4 (Rohit 62, Pollard 40*, Abdulla 3-40) beat Royal Challengers Bangalore 170 for 7 (Head 37, Kohli 33, Bumrah 3-31, Krunal Pandya 2-27) by six wickets.

Rohit Sharma returned to his familiar batting position which has brought him to considerable success to thwart Royal Challengers Bangalore's designs, in the process of helping Mumbai Indians to revive their campaign with a six-wicket win. Rohit made a 44-ball 62 as Mumbai overhauled Royal Challengers' 170 for 7 with 12 balls to spare.

Krunal Pandya's twin strikes to get rid of Kohli and de Villiers in the space of five deliveries stunned Royal Challengers. Shane Watson fell not long after, but Travis Head, on IPL debut and Sarfaraz Khan lifted the Royal Challengers from 99 for 4 to 170 for 7.

Mumbai lost Parthiv Patel in the second over of the chase, but Varun Aaron's third over, brought their innings back on track.

Mumbai Captain and Man of the Match, Rohit Sharma credits his bowlers for not allowing Bangalore to cross 200 mark. He credits his spinners as there was nothing for them on the pitch, but still they managed to take crucial wickets.  He expressed his happiness with the team game as everyone took the responsibilities.
