Former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma failed to make an impact in his return to Wankhede Stadium, departing for a golden duck in the first over. Chasing Rajasthan Royals' total after losing the toss, Mumbai openers Sharma and Ishan Kishan struggled against the left-arm pace duo of Trent Boult and Nathan Coulter-Nile.
Boult, after setting up Sharma with a series of inswingers, dismissed the right-hander with a brilliant outswinger that Sharma edged to wicketkeeper Sanju Samson. This dismissal tied Sharma with Dinesh Karthik for the unwanted record of most ducks (17) in IPL history.
