Heading into the game, Rohit was five runs behind SRH opener David Warner with 824 runs against Kolkata Knight Riders and stood at the second spot in the all-time run scorers against defending champs Mumbai. When Sharma scored six runs opening the batting for MI, he overtook the swashbuckling Australian opener, Warner, to become the leading run-scorer against KKR.

He has scored one century and 2 fifties against KKR in his IPL career. Rohit is second on the list of run-getters list against Kolkata Knight Riders across T20 competitions.

Mumbai Indians got off to a flying start with Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav dealing in boundaries during the powerplay in the first six overs. Despite losing opener Quinton De Kock early, Rohit and Yadav counter-attacked and took on the KKR seamers by hitting them to all parts of the ground.
