RCB vs MI IPL 2022: Rohit Sharma took the ICT fans by storm after claiming the captaincy in all three formats, however, the batter is yet to prove his capabilities in the T20 format. After finally getting a start in the match against his former captain Kohli's RCB, the Hitman was dismissed by RCB's 'Purple' Patel. 

After guiding off the powerplay with Ishan Kishan without giving away a wicket, and putting up 49 runs on the board within 6 overs. This is Mumbai Indians' best start in the powerplay till now in the tournament. However, on the second delivery of the 7th over being bowled by Harshal Patel, Rohit Sharma made a mistake. 

Harshal bowled one of his famous off-cutters and the MI skipper failed to read the variation. Committing into the push early, Rohit checked his shot at the last moment and chipped it straight back to Harshal Patel, who completed an easy catch. 

Prior to this, Rohit Sharma looked in good form today and seemed to put on a big score, smashing 4 fours and a majestic six to score 26 runs in 14 balls. However, Harshal did the job and broke the opening partnership just after reaching the 50-run mark. Rohit scored 41 runs in 32 balls against DC, 10 off 5 against RR & 3 runs off 12 balls against KKR and is still struggling to get a big score and guide his team to a win this season.
