Rashid Khan's valiant knock of 79 was insufficient as Mumbai Indians registered a 27-run victory against Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 at the Wankhede Stadium in Maharashtra's Mumbai on Friday.
Rashid kept GT's hope alive when it stood on the verge of losing the game by a bigger margin. His knock ensured that GT didn't end up losing the game by a margin of 50 or 60 runs.
Suryakumar scored the highest for Mumbai with a sensational unbeaten 103 off 49 balls while Ishan Kishan and Vishnu Vinod played fine knocks of 31 and 30 respectively. For GT, Rashid Khan bagged four wickets while Mohit Sharma scalped one.
While Suryakumar has been revelation in the shortest format of the game and was recently crowned the ICC Men's T20I Cricketer of the Year for 2022, the explosive star has not yet been able to match his heroics in 50-over cricket
This year, the batter has scored 1,024 runs in 28 matches across 31 innings at an average of 39.38. One century and nine half-centuries have come out of his bat, with the best score of 122*
With this win, India are at the top spot in the points table with four points in two wins in two matches. The Netherlands are at the bottom and are yet to score a point.
