MI vs PBKS Highlights: Mumbai Indians beat Kings Punjab by six wickets, Rohit Sharma dismissed for zero.

 

 Mumbai Indians beat Punjab Kings by six wickets in Mohali on Wednesday to register their fifth win of the 2023 Indian Premier League season. The match turned out to be a high-scoring affair, with the home side posting an impressive total of 214/3 in their 20 overs, while Ishan Kishan 75 and Suryakumar Yadav 66 made the batting effort, leaving Mumbai Indians with seven balls to spare. Punjab were inspired to win and had been one of only three original IPL franchises so far to win the tournament.

 Rohit Sharma out on zero, PBKS tweeted.

 Mumbai made a shaky start to their run-chase but recovered to an emphatic win even as their skipper, Rohit Sharma, seemed to be struggling for form as Rishi Dhawan was dismissed in the opening over of the match. Falling for a duck, the official Twitter account of Punjab Kings posted 'R0' in a now-deleted tweet poking fun at Rohit's dismissal. However, the tweet immediately drew criticism from fans and Mumbai's official Twitter account, prompting a sharp reaction from the five-time champions.
