Although Rohit Sharma could not make a big score, he gave Mumbai Indians a good start with 26 runs from 16 balls. He hit three sixes in his innings. His first six against SRH came off Mohammed Shami’s bowling. This also became his 100th six at Wankhede Stadium. He became the first player ever to hit 100 sixes at this Mumbai ground.
