New Delhi: Mumbai Indians defeated Rajasthan Royals in the 1000th match of Indian Premier League (IPL) in a run-fest at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday, April 30.
During the match MI captain Rohit Sharma lost his cool at the umpire. In the 20th over of the Rajasthan Royals’ innings, Arshad Khan, who was included in MI’s playing XI in place of Arjun Tendulkar, bowled a full-toss and Yashasvi in an attempted to play a big shot tried to hit it up. But the ball didn’t travelled the distance and just went up and Arshad completed a simple catch. However, the on-field umpires were not sure of the dismissal and they decided to check it with the third umpire if the ball was legitimate or not.
This incident annoyed Rohit as he lost his cool at the umpire. He was seen giving him an earful for his decision. Even though players are allowed to review wide and no-ball decisions but it was the umpire who demanded a third-umpire’s check.

Mumbai looked in trouble when they were 104/3 in 12 overs in their IPL 2023 clash. But Suryakumar smashed 20 runs off the 13th over from Kuldeep Sen and from there on, he never looked back, hitting eight fours and two sixes while David was brilliant in smacking two fours and five humongous sixes for Mumbai to go to seventh place in the points table with the highest successful chase in IPL at the venue.
Rajasthan’s star players Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed the highest score by an uncapped Indian batter in the IPL through his stunning 124 off 62 balls and propelled Rajasthan Royals to a massive 212/7, while also the joint-highest individual score ‘n the franchise’s history.
