Tonight will be one of those entertaining Sunday evenings when Bangalore’s favourite Virat Kohli’s side will face the Mumbai ka Raja Rohit Sharma for this epic IPL game.
RCB have won the toss and elected to field first, and before we go to the match statistics and playing XI – one important fact before the game that everybody should know:
Rohit Sharma will be playing his 200th game as a T20 captain and he is the third on the list of this elite record, first one being (without any guess) Mahendra Singh Dhoni, and second player on that list is Daren Sammy.
Players with 200 T20 matches as captain: 307 – MS Dhoni 208 – Daren Sammy 200* – Rohit Sharma
Rohit’s win percentage of 62.31 is the best among the 10 captains to have led in 150-plus T20 matches. (cricbuzz)
Surprisingly MI have not won their opening match of a season since 2013 – Will Rohit’s lucky day prove the jinx to be incorrect or will MI once again start the season with a loss.
