Rohit Sharma stroked a stunning 84 on his return from injury as Mumbai Indians sealed a record chase to keep their IPL 2026 playoff hopes alive on Monday. Needing 229 to win, Rohit and Rickelton put on a 143-run partnership to blow the LSG bowling away, to make it a comfortable chase.
Rohit Sharma (84) and Ryan Rickelton (83) smashed stroke-full half-centuries as Mumbai Indians hunted down 229 against Lucknow Super Giants in their Indian Premier League match at the Wankhede Stadium on Monday. The duo shared 143 runs opening stand in just 65 balls to make a stiff target easier. MI eventually reached the target in 18.4 overs, winning by six wickets to end three-match losing streak in absence of Rohit.
This was only the third win for the home side in ten games and LSG remained at the bottom place with just two wins in nine games. Both franchises are almost out of the Play-offs race.
Pooran powers LSG to 228/5
Earlier, Nicholas Pooran returned back to form with a swashbuckling 63 in 21 balls to power LSG to a commanding total of 228/5. Pooran shared 94 runs in just 35 balls for the second wicket with Mitchell Marsh (44) after a brief cameo from opener Jos Inglis. After their exit, hosts bowlers made a strong comeback to restrict the visitors well below 250, which was ominous at the halfway mark.
