During the Mumbai Indians' match against Royal Challengers Bengaluru at Wankhede Stadium, Rohit Sharma faced an unexpected challenge before the innings began. As officials tested the size of his bat, Sharma appeared visibly frustrated, especially as the gauge struggled to fit. Despite the difficulties, he was allowed to use the bat. Unfortunately for Sharma, his day worsened when he had to retire hurt in the sixth over after sustaining a hamstring injury, having scored 19 runs off 13 balls. The match saw RCB post a formidable target of 241 runs, with Phil Salt leading the charge with 78 runs off 36 balls and captain Rajat Patidar contributing 53 runs off 20 balls. Former RCB captain Virat Kohli also made a notable contribution with 50 runs off 38 balls.
