Yaar, nusta tod fod right from the start was exactly what we needed to set the tempo for the Eliminator… And when our 🆕 opening pair RO-Bairstow provided that, we could smell the victory at a distance already.
Throughout his 50-ball 81 knock, which also happens to be the highest individual score by an MI batter in Playoffs, our HITMAN simply looked at his fluent best. 🙌

Sure, he survived a couple of dropped catches, but isn’t this what “cricket” is all about? 😉 Capitalise on the chances and take the game away from the opposition!
Furthermore, Mumbaicha Raja catapulted himself into the record books en route to his POTM-winning performance. 😎
While Rohit became only the second batter to register 7000* runs in IPL, he also became the first Indian to record 300* sixes in the tournament’s history. 🔥 Shabash, RO!
Let’s have a sneak peek into the breakdown of his twin milestones and celebrate an unmatched legacy which continues to win our hearts with each passing day! 💙
