With the win, the five-time IPL champions have brought themselves back in contention for the race for the IPL 2023 playoffs.
After winning the toss and electing to bowl first, Rohit’s team started the match on a positive note as Mumbai Indians youngster Arshad Khan dismissed the dangerous Prabhsimran Singh early.
The Punjab opener could only score 9 runs before he tried to pull a delivery well wide of the off-stump, with Singh aiming to collect a boundary but was caught by Ishan Kishan.
