Rohit Sharma LEAVES When Hardik Pandya Enters MI Nets For Session Ahead of IPL 2024 Match vs KKR – REPORT
The report also claims that there was no sign of Hardik when Rohit was batting in the nets.
Kolkata: Seems like things are going from bad to worse in the Mumbai Indians camp. The latest report suggests that Rohit Sharma, who had finished his batting and was sitting with Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma, got up and left when captain Hardik Pandya walked into bat in the nets on the eve of the match against Kolkata Knight Riders. The Dainik Jagran report also claims that there was no sign of Hardik when Rohit was batting in the nets. Unfortunately, the game at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata was turned out to be a 16-over affair, which KKR won.
Earlier, a brilliant bowling effort led by spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Sunil Narine after Venkatesh Iyer’s blazing knock helped Kolkata Knight Riders beat Mumbai Indians by 18 runs and become the first team to qualify for the Playoffs.
With the win, Kolkata Knight Riders became the first team to secure their place in the Playoff, moving to 18 points from nine wins from 12 matches. This was their second win over MI this season, having beaten them at the Wankhede stadium a few days back.
In a match that started around 90 minutes late and was reduced to 16-overs-a-side because of rain, Kolkata Knight Riders were in trouble on two occasions but came back strongly both times to secure a memorable double victory over Mi this season.
Asked to bat first, KKR were in a precarious position at 40/3 in the fifth over before a brilliant rearguard innings by Venkatesh Iyer, who blasted a 21-bal 42 and shared a 37-run partnership for the fourth wicket with Nitish Rana (33). Crucial cameos by Andre Russell (24) and Rinku Singh helped them reach a challenging 157/7 in 16 overs.
