What a big moment in the game!
It was full and wide outside off and Rohit tried to guide this towards third man, but he got a thick outside edge.
The ball flies towards the right side of the keeper and Porel dives to take a stunning one handed catch.
Two set batters are back to the pavilion, with two new batters at the crease.

But it was not enough as he even got the wicket of SKY immidiately.
Suryakumar Yadav got out for a golden duck thrice in a row in ODIs not so long time ago and now he departed for yet another golden duck.
Suryakumar Yadav c Kuldeep Yadav b Mukesh Kumar 0(1)
DC vs MI: Rohit Sharma finally gets a 50
Fifty for Rohit!
This fifty has come after a really long time. However, there is no celebration for Rohit.
DC vs MI: WICKET - Ishan Kishan RUN-OUT for 31
Bad mix-up from Rohit Sharma!
Ishan Kishan hit the ball and did not see Rohit already charging towards the strikers end.
But by the time he understood, it was a little too late as Lalit Yadav collected the ball and dislogded the stumps.
Ishan Kishan run out (Mukesh Kumar/Lalit Yadav) 31(26) [4s-6]

Axar c Arshad Khan b Behrendorff 54(25) [4s-4 6s-5]
DC vs MI: 50 up for Axar Patel
Maiden IPL fifty for Axar!
After being dropped, Axar surely has added salt to the wound for MI.
DC vs MI: Axar Patel dropped by SKY
Suryakumar Yadav ran towards the ball and even got it in his hand, BUT the ball just popped out of his hands and went for a SIX.
SKY seems to be hurt as he might have lost vision due to the lights and the ball hit his face.
DC vs MI: 50 up for David Warner
Fifty for Warner!
He is one of the only batter's this year from DC to be consistent.
DC vs MI: WICKET - Lalit Yadav Bowled
Lalit Yadav is Bowled!!
The slower, loopy googly from Piyush Chawla went on to lure Lalit Yadav into a forward stride. Soon the ball snakes past the inside edge to smash the top of leg peg.
Lalit Yadav b Chawla 2(4)
DC vs MI: WICKET - Piyush Chawla gets his 2nd
Lovely googly from Piyush Chawla!
The MI bowler got it to land on a perfect length and the ball beat Powell on the inside edge.
The umpire thought long and finally raised his finger, But DC went for the review thinking it was gonna hit the top of leg peg according to technology.
Powell lbw b Chawla 4(4) [4s-1]
DC vs MI: WICKET - Excellent catch by Nehal Wadhera
Yash Dhull departs for 2 on his IPL debut!
It was a 124ks slower short ball and Dhull went for the pick-up pull.
He got more height than distance but Yash kept his eye on the ball and took a running catch.
Yash Dhull c Nehal Wadhera b Meredith 2(4)
DC vs MI: WICKET - Manish Pandey goes for 26
The straight boundaries are almost 75 metres as compared to the shorter square boundaries.
The DC batter, hit the shot that seemed to have timed it well, but goes into the hands of the tall man at the rope.
Manish Pandey c Behrendorff b Chawla 26(18) [4s-5]
DC vs MI: WICKET - Hrithik Shokeen sends back Prithvi Shaw
Prithvi Shaw's poor form continues!
The batter got a hit-me ball and he went for the slogsweep after fetching it from middle and leg.
But he mistimed it horribly and it was a dolly of a catch to Cam Green at square leg.
Prithvi Shaw c Green b Hrithik Shokeen 15(10) [4s-3]
