For the unversed, under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Team India lifted the ICC World Cup 2011 trophy by defeating Sri Lanka. Interestingly, India became the first country to win the Cricket World Cup in their own country. The match remains one of the most memorable games ever played in the history of cricket.
More about the MI vs SRH match
After winning the toss, Mumbai Indians chose to bowl first, and that was how Sunrisers Hyderabad began their power-packed batting at the pitch. The stadium witnessed SRH's Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma picking boundaries at regular intervals. While Travis continued to hit the ball off the boundaries, MI's Jasprit Bumrah got the latter caught behind.
While SRH continued to lose wickets, the batters struggled to have a stable partnership. After Travis Head was dismissed for 48 in the 12th over, MI had got a big wicket. However, SRH managed itself, thanks to Sanvir Singh and Pat Cummins. Lastly, SRH scored 173/8, and then MI batters arrived at the pitch.
MI’s run-chase had started very well, as the openers, Ishan Kishan and Rohit Sharma, established a decent partnership. After Ishan was dismissed, Rohit Sharma stepped in but top-edged one, and it was caught by the wicketkeeper. Naman Dhir also couldn't have his magic doing wonders. And then, Surya Kumar Yadav walked in. He unleashed his inner beast, and his attacking performance left everyone astonished.
Yadav had his fifty in 30 balls and raced to his next fifty in only 21 balls. The century was all worth it, and they drove MI to victory by smashing a six in the 18th over.
