Nehal Wadhera, fielding near the boundary came running in and took a smart low catch at the long-on region. Rohit’s 24 runs came off 21 balls with then help of two fours and a six.
After six overs, MI were placed at 52 for 1 as Ryan Rickelton went berserk with the bat. The South African star scored 20-ball 27 before he perished in the final over of the powerplay overs. Rickelton went for a huge shot off Marco Jansen’s bowling and PBKS captain Shreyas Iyer completed an easy catch.
