Ahmedabad, May 27 (Ians) Mumbai Indians head coach Mark Boucher threw all of his weight behind skipper Rohit Sharma in terms of his lean batting form in Ipl 2023, saying the right-handed opener was leading the initiative of batting in the ultra-attacking way they wished for in the competition.
Rohit made only 332 runs in 16 innings of Ipl 2023 with just two fifties at a strike rate of 132.80. On Friday, in the Qualifier 2 clash against Gujarat Titans, he could make only eight runs as Mumbai, despite Tilak Varma’s attacking 14-ball 43 and Suryakumar Yadav’s quick 61, were bowled out for 171 in 18.2 overs, crashing out of the competition.
“Rohit is a quality player. What I do think is that he led from the front in regards to driving toward the sort of way we wanted to play. Our batting this season was fantastic. We went out at the beginning of the season and we looked...

Ahmedabad, May 27 (Ians) After his third century of the Ipl 2023 season, a majestic 129 off 60 balls, helped Gujarat Titans reach the title clash with a 62-run win over Mumbai Indians in Qualifier 2, opener Shubman Gill said hitting three sixes in the 12th over off Akash Madhwal gave him a feeling that the day was for him to thrive at the Narendra Modi Stadium.
In that 21-run 12th over of Gujarat’s batting, Gill picked up a flick beautifully and muscled a pull for back-to-back sixes off Madhwal, and followed it up with a flick off the wrists to collect third six of the over.
“For me, it’s all about playing ball to ball, assessing the situation over by over. Maybe the over in which I hit three sixes, that’s when I got the momentum to go big and I realised maybe this is my day and I have to make it big,...

Chennai, May 25 (Ians) Pacer Akash Madhwal picked a sensational five-wicket haul (5/5) and helped Mumbai Indians advance to Qualifier 2 of Ipl 2023 with a thumping 81-win over Lucknow Super Giants in Eliminator at the Ma Chidambaram Stadium, here on Wednesday.
Winning the toss on a pitch, where Lucknow skipper Krunal Pandya had quipped he would have liked to bat first too, Mumbai made 182/8, Cameron Green and Suryakumar Yadav chipped in with 41 and 33 respectively, while Tilak Varma hit a 22-ball 26.
But the real impetus came from impact player Nehal Wadhera, who slammed a crucial 23 off 12 balls, including hitting 14 runs in the final over, to take Mumbai to a challenging total. In reply, Lucknow were 68/2 in eight overs at one point in their chase of 183. But from there, they fell like a pack of cards to be 101 all out in 16.3 overs.
Madhwal turned the tide effectively in Mumbai’s favour, finishing with an exceptional 5/5 in 3.1 overs,...

Chennai, May 24 (Ians) Impact Player Nehal Wadhera’s vital late blitz 23 off 12 balls, which included hitting 14 runs in the final over, took Mumbai Indians to a challenging 182/8 against Lucknow Super Giants in the Eliminator clash of Ipl 2023 at the Ma Chidambaram Stadium, here on Wednesday.
At one point, Mumbai looked all set for a 200-plus total, as they raced to 98/2 at half-way mark. But Naveen-ul-Haq halted Mumbai’s charge by using his slower deliveries to pick 4/38, with Yash Thakur and Mohsin Khan taking 3/34 and 1/24 respectively.
Apart from Wadhera’s lusty hits at the end, Cameron Green and Suryakumar Yadav chipped in with 41 and 33 respectively, while Tilak Varma hit a 22-ball 26 for Mumbai.
Electing to bat first, Mumbai were off to a flying start against spin from Krunal Pandya and Krishnappa Gowtham. Ishan Kishan used late-cut twice while steering once to collect three boundaries through third man region while Rohit smacked...

Ipl 2023: We had an off-day as a batting unit, admits Rohit Sharma after Mi's six-wicket loss to Csk
Chennai, May 6 (Ians) After losing by six wickets to Chennai Super Kings (Csk) in match 49 of Indian Premier League (Ipl) 2023 at the M.A. Chidambaram Stadium on Saturday, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma admitted that his side had an off-day with the bat.
Pushed into batting first, Mumbai’s innings never got going as they lost their top-three in Power-play. Barring Nehal Wadhera’s 64 off 50 balls, his maiden Ipl fifty and twin fifty-plus stands with Suryakumar Yadav and Tristan Stubbs, there was nothing of note as Mumbai ended up at 139/8, which Chennai chased down with 14 balls to spare.
“Everywhere, I guess. Our batters didn’t put up enough runs. We had an off-day as a batting unit,” said a dejected Rohit Sharma in the post-match presentation ceremony.
Sharma, who had scored a three-ball duck in his previous game against Punjab Kings at Mohali, decided to bat at number three, with...

Chennai, May 5 (Ians) Ahead of their Ipl 2023 match against Chennai Super Kings, Mumbai Indians wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan said that he feels once a batter is set, he wants to finish the game for his side.
Mumbai Indians might have won both their previous matches with record-breaking chases but Ishan is confident of the team getting the results even if they are asked to bat first.
“Our intent is going to be very clear. If the ball is there (to be hit), we will go for it. In T20 cricket, it is just a matter of an over or two. You just need one or two good overs. We know they have good spinners and the wicket is going to turn here. But we are used to it because we have played so many years of the Ipl now. We are ready for all conditions,” said Kishan about doing well in all conditions.

Mohali, May 4 (Ians) After chasing down 215 against Punjab Kings to win by six wickets in Ipl 2023, Mumbai Indians skipper Rohit Sharma heaped praise on Suryakumar Yadav, pointing out that getting runs behind square is a strength point which he utilised very well in Mohali.
Suryakumar was all class in his whirlwind 66 off 31 balls, hitting eight fours and two sixes at a strike-rate of 212.9, leaving no area untouched with his trademark innovative shots while sharing a match-winning partnership of 116 for the third wicket with Ishan Kishan to help Mumbai chase down 215 with seven balls to spare.
“Look, he (Suryakumar) has been doing that for the last couple of years. Batted brilliantly. To play behind the wicket, that’s his strength and he utilised it really well. Surya and Kishan batted brilliantly and good finish by Tim and Tilak,” said Rohit in the post-match presentation ceremony.

Mohali, May 3 (Ians) Ishan Kishan slammed a terrific 75 while Suryakumar Yadav brought out his wide array of shots in a whirlwind 66 as the duo shared a 116-run partnership for the third wicket to help Mumbai Indians chase down 215 and beat Punjab Kings by six wickets at the Is Bindra Pca Stadium on Wednesday.
Though the duo fell in the back-end of the chase, Tilak Varma and Tim David kept the attack going to complete the chase with seven balls to spare. The win also means Mumbai have ten points and have gone past Punjab to be at sixth position in the points table.
Mumbai were dealt with a big blow in the opening over as Rohit Sharma danced down the pitch to flay over off-side against Rishi Dhawan. But the top-edge flew to the fielder in the deep, resulting in his dismissal for a three-ball duck.

Mohali, May 3 (Ians) When Punjab Kings, after being put in to bat first, posted 214/3, thanks to Liam Livingstone’s scintillating 82 off 42 balls and Jitesh Sharma continuing his good form to be unbeaten on 49 off 27 balls, while sharing a 119-run stand for the fourth wicket, it seemed Mumbai Indians were on the backfoot.
After conceding 69 runs in the last five overs, Mumbai were even further pushed backwards when Rishi Dhawan dismissed Rohit Sharma for a three-ball duck in the first over and lost Cameron Green in the last over of power-play.
But Ishan Kishan and Suryakumar Yadav had other ideas at the Is Bindra Pca Stadium on Wednesday. In front of a vociferous crowd, Kishan slammed a terrific 75 while Suryakumar brought out his innovative array of shots in a whirlwind 66 as the duo shared a match-winning partnership of 116 for the third wicket to help Mumbai Indians chase down 215 and beat Punjab Kings by six wickets.
