Kohli Sets the Wankhede Ablaze
The RCB stalwart Virat Kohli showed his classic form, powering his team through the powerplay with elegant strokes and fearless sixes.

This knock also marked a historic moment as Kohli crossed 13,000 career T20 runs, becoming the first Indian to achieve the feat.
But as Kohli looked set for a big innings, Hardik Pandya stepped up with clever variations to dismiss the RCB skipper. Kohli’s reaction said it all — visibly disappointed, he walked off knowing how crucial that breakthrough was.
Hardik’s Heroics Shift Momentum
Hardik Pandya, leading MI with grit, showcased why he’s one of the best all-rounders in the game. In his comeback over, he broke RCB’s rhythm with two wickets in three balls, including the prized scalp of Kohli. The stadium erupted, and Mumbai Indians found a new sense of energy and momentum.
His performance wasn’t just limited to that over — his tactical captaincy and bold bowling changes made it difficult for RCB’s batters to settle.
Jasprit Bumrah Returns from Injury
Another massive boost for MI is the return of Jasprit Bumrah, the pace spearhead, who made his comeback after a 3-month injury layoff. While Kohli took him on early, Bumrah’s presence on the field instantly lifted the spirits of the Mumbai team and fans.
His control, pace, and swing could become game-defining in the death overs, and all eyes will be on how he ends this thrilling contest.
