MI’s top-order struggled against the opening bowling partnership of Trent Boult and Nandre Burger, with three batters being dismissed for golden ducks. Former MI captain Rohit Sharma was one of those who failed to score, getting caught behind in the opening over after RR chose to field first.
Rohit’s duck in this match marked the 17th time he has recorded a duck in his IPL career, tying him with Dinesh Karthik of Royal Challengers Bangalore for the most ducks in the history of the competition.
