Watch as Shepherd’s stumps get knocked over by Pathirana’s lightning-fast yorker, leaving him no chance to score

Mumbai Indians’ (MI) chase of a daunting 207-run target against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) was hampered by the early dismissal of Romario Shepherd, who failed to replicate his heroics from the previous match.

Shepherd Falls to Pathirana’s Yorker

Romario Shepherd’s blistering knock against Delhi wasn’t replicated at the Wankhede Stadium. In a crucial moment, CSK’s standout bowler, Matheesha Pathirana, unleashed a searing 149.3 km/h yorker that rattled Shepherd’s middle and leg-stump. This dismissal added to Pathirana’s impressive tally, making him the bowler of the evening with figures of 4/28. His spell included the crucial wickets of Ishan Kishan, Suryakumar Yadav, and Hardik Pandya.

A Lone Warrior: Rohit Sharma’s Century

Despite MI’s struggles, Rohit Sharma emerged as a shining light, smashing his second IPL century. Rohit Sharma’s innings of 105 runs off 63 balls was his first IPL century in 12 years. This unbeaten knock ended his long century drought in the IPL. However, his valiant effort wasn’t enough, as MI could only manage 186/6 after their 20 overs. Ultimately, CSK secured a convincing 20-run victory.
