MI vs RR, IPL 2023: Tim David smashes three SIXES to help Mumbai Indians win by 6 wickets

Three sixes in the final over from Tim David to help chase down 212 with ease!

1000th game of the IPL surely was an entertaining one.

Also MI winning was turely a birthday gift for Rohit Sharma.

What a catch by Sandeep Sharma!!!! 

Could well be the catch of the season.

It was pace off and length outside off, Suryakumar tried to hit it over short fine. 

The ball hung in the air for a while and Sharma sprinted for almost 19mts back from his position. 

He then threw himself in the full stretch dive to take a splinded catch.

Suryakumar Yadav c Sandeep Sharma b Boult 55(29) [4s-8 6s-2]

50 for Suryakumar Yadav!

He is keeping Mumbai Indians in the hunt.

Ashwin knowns how to get the wickets when needed!

Green gets under it and tries to hoist it over deep mid-wicket. 

But, Trent Boult is out in the deep and he steadies under and completes the catch. 

Green c Boult b Ashwin 44(26) [4s-4 6s-2]

It was a rare tossed up delivery from Ashwin which spun away from outside off.

Kishan threw the kitchen sink at it and the ball flies towards Boult at deep point. 

Ishan Kishan c Boult b Ashwin 28(23) [4s-4]

A huge wicket and birthday boy departs!

It was a knuckle ball and the batter backed away and missed the slower delivery. 

The ball just kissed the top of off. 

Rohit b Sandeep Sharma 3(5)

Yashasvi Jaiswal is Caught&Bowled by Arshad Khan

This is now the highest score by an uncapped player ever in the IPL

Youngest players to score an IPL hundred:

19y, 253 days - Manish Pandey (RCB) vs Deccan Chargers, Centurion, 2009

20y, 218 days - Rishabh Pant (DC) vs SRH, Delhi, 2018

20y, 289 days - Devdutt Padikkal (RCB) vs RR, Mumbai WS, 2021

21y, 123 days - Yashasvi Jaiswal (RR) vs MI, Mumbai WS, today

22y, 151 days - Sanju Samson (DC) vs RPS, Pune, 2017

The batter wanted to hit it away and got it off the soft top-edge as he couldn't control the big ball. 

The ball goes high in the air and the bowler takes the catch.

Jaiswal c and b Arshad Khan 124(62) [4s-16 6s-8]

The local lad - Yashasvi Jaiswal - in Pink has a ton! 

This has been a scintillating knock.

It was a short ball and the batter walked across a little and hammered the pull. 

However, the man at deep mid came in a few paces and took a low catch. 

Dhruv Jurel c Tilak Varma b Meredith 2(3)

It was banged in short and the batter went for the pull. 

But he failed to time it and he holes out at deep mid where it was an easy take for the fielder in the deep. 

Hetmyer c Suryakumar Yadav b Arshad Khan 8(9) [6s-1]

It was a fuller ball, wider as well and Holder reached out for it sans much power into the shot. 

The ball went high but did not get the distance as it lands into Tim David's hands.

Holder c Tim David b Jofra Archer 11(9) [6s-1]

Padikkal showed last ball that he wasn't picking Chawla's googly and the bowler understood the assignment.

Padikkal was rooted to the crease and he looked to defend but the ball spins away, beats the outside edge and crashes into the stumps. 

Padikkal b Chawla 2(4)

fifty for Jaiswal. 

Back to back half centuries for him.

This was nothing delivery. A slower ball on the pads and Samson chips it tamely to deep mid-wicket. 

He did not whip it hard and Tilak runs in and takes an easy catch.

Samson c Tilak Varma b Arshad Khan 14(10) [4s-1 6s-1]

As soon as he hit the shot, Buttler put his head down!

It was a flighted googly and it is too full in length and Buttler tried to loft it down the ground.

But the bat turned on impact and hits it straight to long-on. 

Buttler c (sub)Ramandeep Singh b Chawla 18(19) [4s-2 6s-1]

Mementos are being presented to the two captains - Rohit Sharma and Sanju Samson. 

Legends Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara are also being handed with mementos.

The flags of the eight teams are being carried out onto the ground as well as the national flag.
