On the fifth ball of the third over in MI’s innings, Shami delivered a back-of-a-length delivery on leg and middle. Rohit unleashed a pull shot off his hips, sending the ball soaring into the top tier over square leg.

Will Jacks was the standout bowler for MI, claiming two wickets. In reply, MI’s opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Ryan Rickelton put on 32 runs off 23 balls. Rohit contributed 26 off 16 balls, while Rickelton made 31 off 23.
