In the 14th match of the 11th season of Indian Premier League (IPL) on Tuesday, Rohit Sharma-led Mumbai Indians defeated Royal Challengers Bangalore by 46 runs at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
Here is the stats review of the Tuesday’s match:
1- For the second time in the history of IPL, viewers witnessed the dismissal of two batsmen in the first two balls in Mumbai Indians’ Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan. The same had happened in IPL 2011 when Chennai Super Kings lost Aniruddha Srikkanth and Suresh Raina to Kings XI Punjab’s Praveen Kumar in Mohali.
