Mumbai Indians (MI) opener Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya were dismissed for mere seven and two by fast bowler Dhawal Kulkarni, against Gujarat Lions (GL) in Match 9 of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2016 at the Wankhede Stadiun in Mumbai on Saturday. It was a full length ball on the middle, as Rohit went to shuffle it across, didn’t get the bounce correct, as it flew straight up in the air, and was comfortably caught by Bravo, who was patrolling the mid-wicket area, while Pandya too was dismissed in a similar fashion, after being caught by Shadab Jakati. Currently, MI are 26 for the loss of two wickets in five overs, with opener Parthiv Patel on nine, along with Jos Buttler on five.

Mumbai Indians (MI) lock horns with Gujarat Lions (GL) in Match 9 of Indian Premier League (IPL) 2016 at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. GL have been on a rampage in IPL 9 so far, emerging victorious in all the matches with ease and grace. MI, on the other hand, is back to winnings ways after their 9-wicket defeat against the Rising Pune Supergiants (RSP) in the tournament opener. In fact, MI haven’t tasted win in their first match since IPL 2013, but ended up lifting the cash-rich trophy twice. It promises to be a cracker of a contest, as both teams feature T20 stalwarts who have gone great guns at the international level as well.
