MI vs RCB highlights in IPL 2023: After losing the toss, Faf Du Plessis’ RCB came to the crease to bat first, and as usual, Virat Kohli and Faf Du Plessis opened the innings for the team. Virat Kohli looked charged up to score runs, but his innings ended in the very first over of the match when Kohli tried to hit the ball charging down the crease and the ball took the outer edge of his bat and he got caught behind the stumps. He scored only 1 run.

Anuj Rawat came to the crease, and in the second over, Faf displayed a glimpse of the form he is in this IPL season 2023. Anuj Rawat failed to impress again as he departed in the third over of the powerplay after making six runs.

Surya Kumar Yadav and Nehal Wadhera started their show of scoring runs all over the ground and deposited balls out of the park in every over from both ends. The runs were pouring like heavy rain with his sublime form. SKY hit his fifty, which was his fourth in this IPL, and Nehal Wadhera also completed his fifty before getting out.

MI vs RCB highlights IPL 2023: SKY’s lethal hitting

Surya Kumar Yadav has always been a player to look at while chasing, as his style of batting is something different. No matter how much pressure is on his team, he has the capability to take his team out of the problem without compromising with the run rate, and that’s what he did in the last match against RCB. He rained down runs at Wankhede and took his team to its 6th win this season. Not only that, the way he scored runs was lethal as MI won the match in just 16.3 overs. Surya’s Knock helped MI secure two crucial points, plus their net run rate improvement would help them in a close clash of points.

MI vs RCB highlights IPL 2023: Post-Match

Both teams played well, but Mumbai Indians performance in front of their home crowd was better than RCB’s. The run chase by the Mumbai Indians was phenomenal, as they achieved the 200 runs target in just 16.3 overs and won the match by 6 wickets. The Mumbai Indians are now standing at the 3rd spot in the points table, whereas RCB is at the 7th position. RCB’s bowling attack has to be more impactful, as just putting runs on the board isn’t enough; you have to defend them as well. I hope RCB bounces back in their upcoming matches to secure their position in the playoffs.
