Rohit Sharma made history by scoring a well deserved fifty for the Mumbai Indians during their 2023 Indian Premier League (IPL) clash against the Delhi Capitals on Tuesday. The kick proved to be decisive for his team as they took their first IPL 2023 win with the last ball. Half a century saw Rohit become DC’s top scorer with 977 runs in 33 games. Kohli was in first place with 925 runs but was dethroned after a victorious knockout of the Indian cricket team captain. Rohit has an average of 32.56 and a scoring score of 131.14 in IPL.
Rohit was at his best on the road to his first half-century IPL in 25 innings before the Mumbai Indians overcame several tense moments to take a last ball victory over the Delhi Capitals.
David Warner narrowly hit 51 of 47 balls before Aksar Patel once again showed his vastly improved batting skills, scoring an impressive 54 of 25 balls to push the Delhi Capitals to a competitive 172 balls after the Mumbai Indians forced the hosts to bat.
With the pitch on the drier side compared to the first game here and the finger spinners getting a lot of help from him, the Mumbai Indians were up to a challenge but with his classy 65 of 45 balls, Rohit helped his team record their first win. season.
With Cameron Green (17 out of 8) and Tim David (13 out of 11) in the middle of Mumbai, five runs were needed before the last over, but Henrich Nortier served brilliantly to take the game to the very last ball. David got the necessary two balls from the final ball for a much needed win.
